YEREVAN, OCTOBER 31, NOYAN TAPAN. The 2009 draft state budget
envisages allocating 15.97 bln drams to the ministry of transport
and communication.
The minister Gurgen Sargsyan said that this sum will be spent on
major repairs of interstate, republican and local roads.
Off-budget resources, for example, funds of the projects financed by
the Millennium Challenge Fund and the Asian Development Bank, will
also be used for road construction. Road sections of the total length
of 250 km will be repaired in 2009 with state budgetary allocations,
and repairs of another 100 km will be done with credit resources of
the Asian Development Bank.
According to the minister, funds of the Asian Bank and the Millennium
Challenge Fund are mainly spent on reconstruction of rural roads. Under
this program launched in 2008, all rural roads must be linked to
the nearby highway or the respective regional center by at least one
improved road.
In 2009, it is planned to repair the following interstate roads:
Yerevan-Meghri road, Yerevan-Gyumri-Bavra road leading to the
Georgian border, and Yerevan-Vanadzor-Stepanavan-Tashir and
Yerevan-Vanadzor-Bagratashen roads.
