ArmInfo. Despite unfavorable weather conditions, construction on the 32-kilometer Kajaran-Agarak section of the North-South Highway is proceeding rapidly, according to the press service of the Roads Department Foundation.
According to the source, work is continuing on concreting two existing tunnels, constructing retaining walls, bridges, and artificial structures, as well as laying the roadbed for the future highway.
The quality of construction is constantly monitored by the technical supervision team and employees of the Roads Department Foundation.
As a reminder, the Kajaran-Agarak section of the North-South Highway is being built with funding from the Government of the Republic of Armenia and the Eurasian Fund for Stabilization and Development. Construction is being carried out by an Iranian consortium, specifically Abad Rahan Pars International Group and Tunnel Sadd Ariana. The project is a key part of the North-South Corridor, ensuring rapid construction.
At the end of March, during Government Hour in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure David Khudatyan announced that 45% of the work had already been completed. Specifically, drilling of two tunnels has been completed, and active work is underway on 14 of the 15 bridges.
This section of the highway is scheduled to be commissioned in late 2027 or early 2028, depending on weather conditions.
