The Armenian government approved a decision at its October 1 Cabinet meeting to amend the 2026 state budget to provide funding for road construction works.
Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Davit Khudatyan said the works cover a total of 32.7 km of roads.
The minister said at the meeting that AMD 4.069 billion ($11.24 million) is planned to be allocated for the works.
The sections included in the program comprise 3.5 km of interstate roads, 9.6 km of republican roads, and 19.6 km of regional and local roads. A significant portion of the latter lead to schools.
The works include, in particular, the collapsed section of the Vanadzor–Alaverdi–Bagratashen road, a section of the Spitak–Gyumri road, as well as sections of the Ayghehovit–Vazashen–Paravakar–Aygepar, Jrashen–Nubarashen, Gavar–Noratus and Mets Masrik–Kakhakn routes.
Khudatyan also said that the contract for the reconstruction of approximately 66 km of the Yenokavan–Karmirgyugh route is worth AMD 14.7 billion. The works are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2028.
