    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 21, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA Ministry of Transport and
    Communication has implemented three projects on road rehabilitation
    in 2009: the RA state budget-financed project on rehabilitation of
    motorways of state importance, the Asian Development Bank-financed
    Rural Road project, and the World Bank's Lifeline Road Improvement
    Project.

    As Minister Gurgen Sargsyan said during the December 21 press
    conference, repairs of 9.9 billion drams were carried out with state
    budget allocations this year. Under the Asian Development Bank-financed
    project of the total cost of 64.84 million USD (including 16.92 million
    USD as co-financing of the Armenian government), 227 km of roads will
    be rehabilitated in Gegharkunik, Armavir, Ararat and Kotayk marzes.

    Rehabilitation of more than 140 km of road sections was completed in
    2009, and the remaining 87 km will be repaired in 2010. According
    to the minister, 100 km of roads of local importance in 7 marzes
    were rehabilitated this year under the World Bank's Lifeline Road
    Improvement Project, thus ensuring a road network for 71 thousand
    people in 39 communities. The total cost of the project is 30.4
    million USD, including the Armenian government's co-financing of 5.4
    million USD.

    Rehabilitation of roads of the total length of 18.5 km started in
    July with money saved during construction work tenders. Besides,
    additional financing of 36.6 million USD was allocated under the above
    mentioned project of the World Bank, while the Armenian government
    provided co-financing of 9.1 million USD. 140 km of roads will be
    rehabilitated under the project: rehabilitation of 36 km began in
    September, work on the remaining part is scheduled to start in 2010.

    G. Sargsyan said that in 2009 German-Austrian ILF company developed a
    concept on implementation of the North-South Highway projects, while
    Padeco company (Japan) conducted a feasibility study on the highway
    construction. The Asian Development Bank declared it will give 500
    million USD for the project's implementation, with 60 million USD to
    be allocated at the first stage in 2010. By preliminary estimates,
    the total cost of the project amounts to 962 million USD.
