Azerbaijan prepares projects to restore road infrastructure in liberated territories

BAKU, Azerbaijan, Nov. 25

By Sadraddin Aghjayev - Trend:

All roads (2,661 kilometers) that were previously under Armenian occupation, will be fully repaired, Anar Najafli, Spokesman for the State Agency of Azerbaijan Automobile Roads, told Trend.

To date, no road construction work has been carried out in the direction of Aghdam, only a part of the road leading to Aghdam has been repaired, said the spokesman.

The projects on road repairs in liberated territories include the construction of completely new roads, Najafli said.

He noted that projects are now being prepared to restore the road infrastructure in various districts of the liberated territories.

“Today, in line with the instruction of the president of Azerbaijan, our agency is building a road to Sugovushan, from Sugovushan to the Talish village of the Tartar district, as well as the construction of the Fuzuli-Shusha road. Our agency is fully prepared to fulfill all the instructions of the president,” the spokesman said.

Najafli noted three roads of republican significance R19, R29, R33 leading to the liberated territories: R19 – from Ganja to Kalbajar and Lachin; R29 - from Barda to Tartar, these roads will be completely reconstructed; R33 - starts in Aghjabadi and follows the route Aghjabadi-Khindarkh-Aghdam.

Part of R33 road, Aghjabadi-Khindarkh, was reconstructed in 2019, the other part (Khindarkh-Aghdam) of the road will also be reconstructed, he said.

Najafli noted that the construction of the Hajigabul-Bahramtepe-Horadiz-Minjivan-Armenia highway is planned.

Part of this road Hajigabul-Bahramtepe-Horadiz has been reconstructed, the other part, Horadiz-Minjivan-Armenia provides for the construction of a new road from scratch, he added.

Najafli said that the agency is preparing a plan for the Horadiz-Minjivan-Armenia project, which is to be coordinated with other state structures.

“As soon as the project prepared by us is approved, we will certainly begin its implementation,” he said.

He noted that through this road (Hajigabul-Bahramtepe-Horadiz-Minjivan-Armenia) it will be possible to reach the Jabrayil, Gubadly and Lachin districts.

“We consider all of the above as a set of measures to restore the infrastructure of the liberated territories,” the spokesman added.
