By Samir Ali - Trend:
The State Agency of Azerbaijan Automobile Roads, another local company and two Turkish companies are carrying out large-scale work on road construction in the direction of Shusha city, liberated from Armenian occupation, the agency Spokesman Anar Najafli told Trend.
According to Najafli, the project is divided into five parts.
"In the framework of the two parts of the project for the construction of roads, which are located in mountainous, hard-to-reach areas and woodlands, construction work is being carried out by Turkish companies. Within the rest of the project, work is being carried out by a specialized Azerbaijani company and our agency," he added.
In parallel, work is underway to expand the road, added the spokesman.
"Construction work is being carried out in areas where there were no roads before, and therefore, earthworks are being carried out in order to expand the roadbed," said Najafli.
In addition, projects are being developed for the construction of roads in the direction of Goygol-Toganaly, Kalbajar - Istisu, Kalbajar - Lachin, Horadiz - Minjivan - border with Armenia. In parallel, design work is underway in the direction of Gubadly - Lachin.
"Projects will need to be approved by the relevant government authorities. After the approval of road construction projects in the liberated territories of Azerbaijan, Turkish and local companies, in particular, our agency will also be involved in the work," Najafli concluded.
