The State Agency of Azerbaijan Automobile Roads said that work is being carried out to reconstruct the road infrastructure in Azerbaijan to ensure comfortable transportation for citizens and accelerate the development of agriculture.
Following the decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, regarding measures related to the construction of a road along the Arabmehdibay-Dadali-Gasimbayli-Khalilli-Mustafaly-Goydallakli-Takla-Dalilar-Garagoyunlu-Kandoba route, which branches off from the 19th kilometer of the Aghsu-Kurdamir-Bahramtapa highway in the Aghsu district, the project of road infrastructure is being implemented, connecting 12 settlements with a population of 10,000 people.
The agency noted that a 26.4-kilometer dirt road was in an unusable condition due to natural factors. Consequently, the road, which required comprehensive reconstruction and rehabilitation, was upgraded to meet the fourth technical category standards. The road width has been increased to 10 meters.
