BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 8

By Elnur Baghishov – Trend:

Hopefully the construction of a new bridge over the Astarachay River on the border between Azerbaijan and Iran will be completed and put into operation in a short time, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Iran Ali Alizada told Trend.

The ambassador stressed that construction of the mentioned bridge has already begun and is progressing rapidly.

Alizada added that the new bridge will facilitate the movement of both vehicles and people.

The ambassador also said that Azerbaijan-Iran relations, trade and economic relations are developing every year.

“Taking into account the trade congestion on the borders, the governments of both countries have decided to build new bridges. One of them is the Astara bridge, the foundation of which has already been laid. We are confident that the bridge will contribute to the growth of trade and economic ties in the future," he said.

On January 25, 2022, the foundation of a new bridge over the Astarachay River on the border of Azerbaijan-Iran was laid. The construction of the 89-meter-long and 30-meter-wide bridge is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
