U.S. firm begins TRIPP site survey in Armenia

Under the U.S. State Department's Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment Fund, a team from the U.S. engineering consulting firm AECOM visited Armenia to initiate work on a survey of the TRIPP site, the U.S. Embassy in Armenia said in a press release.

This project will provide technical assessments and recommendations for rail and other infrastructure development to support Armenia's long-term economic growth, connectivity, and regional integration, the embassy said.

The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) is a connectivity project in Armenia, envisaged under the U.S.-brokered Armenian-Azerbaijani joint declaration signed in Washington, D.C. The project is expected to unlock strategic economic opportunities, create long-term benefits by promoting infrastructure investment, and enhance regional connectivity. TRIPP is part of the Crossroads of Peace project, and an Armenian-American joint enterprise is expected to develop the route.
