Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan inspected the construction of the 32-km Kajaran–Agarak section of the North–South highway during a visit to the Syunik region with members of the ruling Civil Contract.

Davit Khudatyan, Armenia’s minister of territorial administration and infrastructure, said the site is currently the largest construction project in the country.

He said that over the past week an average of 560 workers and more than 210 units of equipment had been operating at the site daily, with daily construction output estimated at about 60 million drams.

Khudatyan said the road section will include two tunnels and 15 bridges, the longest measuring 720 metres.

He added that construction is proceeding according to schedule and is expected to be completed by the end of 2027, noting that work continued during the winter months.
