    RECONSTRUCTION OF THE QOBER-TUMANYAN BRIDGE IS OVER

    11:14, 19 December, 2012

    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 19, ARMENPRESS. On December 18 a reconstructed
    railway bridge on Qober-Tumanyan stretch was opened, which was
    built in 1898. Reconstruction of the bridge was carried out within
    the framework of South Caucasian Railway's program to modernize
    infrastructure. This is the third railway bridge commissioned by CJSC
    "SCR" this year. "South Caucasian Railway" informed "Armenpress"
    about this.

    In April 2012 Zamanlu bridge was opened with the participation
    of the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and the President of
    Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin and in October another bridge on
    Shahali-Tumanyan stretch better known popularly as "Satani Kamurj"
    was opened for railway traffic.

    The bridge on Qober-Tumanyan stretch was commissioned 114 years ago
    and for all this time it has had only current repairs. The height of
    the bridge is 13.1 meters and the total length is about 75 meters.

    Keeping to its policy of supporting the Armenian business, CJSC "SCR"
    chose as the contractor for the reconstruction of the railway bridge
    the Armenian construction company "Kamurjshin". Total funding the
    reconstruction project was more than 336.8 million drams.

    In the period from 2008 to 2012 CJSC "SCR" has allocated more than
    50 billion AMD on the program of modernization of infrastructure,
    though the total amount of financing of the investment program of
    the South Caucasian Railway amounted to about 90 billion drams.

    Since the beginning of the concession activity in the framework of
    infrastructure modernization the Company has repaired 300 km of track,
    more than 160 objects of technological applications, 33 engineering
    structures, 130 km of the overhead line, more than 140 km of electric
    power transmission lines.
