Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan and Transport and
Communication Minister Manuk Vardanyan participated in the opening
of 2.5 km reconstructed section of state importance highway
Sevan-Martuni-Getap near the village Lchashen on Saturday.
The road section which was being reconstructed since 2008 was
underflooding in the result of increase of water level of the Lake
Sevan. At present, this road corresponds to the operation norms and
is not dangerous for transportation.
Bank protection measures and land works has been implemented in this
road section. Metallic blocks are constructed along the road and
fixation works of the road bed have been implemented. The level of
the road is higher the sea level by 3.7 meters.
The cost of reconstruction was 968 million drams.
Taking into account the increase of water level, it is envisaged that
the road will serve minimum 10-12 years.
