BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 27. Work on the
Muganli-Ismayilli-Gabala road in Azerbaijan has been completed by
31 percent, and the construction of the road is expected to be
completed by 2025, Head of the Department for the Management of
Norms, Standards and Quality of Azerroadservice OJSC Kamran Azizov
said, trend reports.
"This road was built in 1970. Later it was expanded from two to
four lanes. Currently, a tunnel, one suspension bridge and 15 more
bridges are being built on this road," Azizov said.
He added that the tunnel is being built to prevent
landslides.
The reconstruction of Azerbaijan's Muganli-Ismayilli-Gabala
section of the Baku-Shamakhi-Muganli-Ismayilli-Gabala highway,
which is the shortest road connecting Azerbaijan's capital Baku
with Ismayilli, Gabala, Oghuz, Sheki, Gakh, Zagatala and Balakan
districts, is underway.
As a result of the reconstruction, the length of the
Muganli-Ismayilli-Gabala road will be reduced by 9.7 km and will
amount to 76.8 km. The existing 2-lane road will be widened and
will consist of 4 lanes. The first 14-kilometer section is
considered geologically and hydro-geologically more complicated and
most prone to landslides. For this reason, measures are being taken
against landslides.
In this regard, the construction of pile retaining walls,
drainage systems with a total length of 4 km and other engineering
work also continues on eight sections of the road.
