Overpass to be exploited with delay
The road construction that began at the Tsitsernakaberd highway last year is still underway, and the construction of an overpass is in progress. The overpass will give drivers the chance to reach the center quicker, and they will no longer have to go all the way to Leningradyan Street to make a turn. The municipality has spent 898 million drams on this overpass.
"I'm not content with the road in terms of quality, especially the quality of the asphalt. We will exploit it when it is fully ready. I consider the construction of such roads necessary for Yerevan," says division head of the Department of Construction and Renovation of Yerevan Municipality Felix Yayloyan.
The municipality has eliminated nearly 8000 square meters of area for construction, but according to Felix Yayloyan, there used to be some trees and bushes before construction.
Yayloyan added that the municipality is planting trees in different sectors of Yerevan.
"Those trees are not only planted to make the place look beautiful, but also because it is ecologically necessary," Felix Yayloyan said.
The overpass was supposed to be ready by June 27, but it is envisaged to finish construction by August 30. Construction has been underway for the past eight months already.
