LACHIN, Azerbaijan, September 22. The tunnel to
Azerbaijan's Lachin International Airport will be 2,400 meters
long, Trend 's Karabakh bureau reports citing the
State Agency of Azerbaijan Automobile Roads.
The entrance tunnel is located on the 35-kilometer section of
the Kalbajar-Lachin highway, Representative of the State Automobile
Roads Agency Eyyub Huseynov told Trend .
According to Huseynov, the 76.3-kilometer long Kalbajar-Lachin
highway is among the essential road infrastructure projects
implemented under the instruction of President of Azerbaijan Ilham
Aliyev in the Karabakh and East Zangazur Economic Regions. The
construction of the road and tunnels is currently underway.
The Agency is conducting drilling and excavation work on certain
road sections. Moreover, drainage pipes and water canals are being
laid, as well as a stone wall is being constructed. The
construction activities on five (T1, T2, T5, T6 and T7) of the 12
road tunnels continue.
There are a large number of landslide zones on the existing road
passes. In addition, the safe operation of the road may not be
possible in heavy snow and frosty weather conditions. In this
regard, it has been decided to overcome the passes directly through
the tunnels. The tunnels will have one traffic lane in one
direction. The total length of the tunnels will account for 7596.5
meters.

Kalbajar-Lachin highway, shaping the slopes, the laying of 12
rectangular and 4 round pipes are currently ongoing.
The highway with two, three, and four lanes, linking Kalbajar
and Lachin districts, is being constructed in accordance with the
first, second, and third technical standards. In order to ensure
the water transfer on the first 38 kilometers of the road, 60
circular pipes with a total length of 3,348 meters, as well as nine
highway bridges with a length of 1,038 meters are also supposed to
be built in the foreseeable future.
The Kalbajar-Lachin highway takes its starting point from the
Kalbajar district's Gamishli village and passes through liberated
Lachin district. The new road will provide comfortable entry and
exit to many residential areas, to the regional center, as well as
to the Lachin International Airport, the construction of which has
recently begun.
