The construction of a new highway bypassing Azerbaijan's Lachin
city carried out by the State Agency of Azerbaijan Automobile Roads
is nearing completion, Azernews reports.
The subgrade construction work using special equipment is
underway in accordance with the construction rules and regulations.
The asphalt concrete pavement is laid, horizontal marking lines are
applied, and road signs and protective fences are installed in the
areas where earthwork has been completed.
In addition, along the road passing through the territory with
complex terrain, the construction of various artificial structures
was implemented in accordance with the project. Thus, concrete
ditches have been built in the necessary places, round water pipes
of various diameters were laid in 17 venues, plastic pipes of
various diameters were installed in 36 places; a four-span
automobile bridge 149.5 meters long and 13.5 meters wide was also
constructed.
To recap, the construction of the highway started in July 2021.
The total length of the road is 32 km (out of which 10 km falls on
the territory of Armenia), designed in accordance with the III
technical degree. The width of the roadway with three lanes on the
slopes and two lanes on other sections constitutes 7-10.5 meters,
the width of the subgrade is 12-15 meters, whereas the width of the
shoulder sections is 2x2.5 (5 m) meters.
Currently, work is underway to restore Azerbaijan's liberated
lands. Azerbaijan will rebuild its recently liberated areas in four
stages. The first stage involves resolving issues of governance and
security, as well as infrastructure, while the subsequent stages
involve resolving issues of social services activities,
reconstruction, and economic development.
In 2021, Azerbaijan allocated $1.5 billion for the
reconstruction of liberated territories, followed by AZN 2.2
billion ($1.2 billion) in 2022. These funds will be used primarily
to restore infrastructure (electricity, gas, water, communications,
roads, education, health, and so on) as well as cultural and
historical monuments.
