Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure: Armenia and Iran are running a construction project for a new bridge over the Araks River

Armenia and Iran are running a construction project for a
new bridge over the Araks River. Specialists are now carrying out a feasibility
study necessary for further planning of the bridge. RA Deputy Minister of
Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Kristine Ghalechyan said this to
Sputnik Armenia.

“We need to find out the technical requirements for the
construction of the new bridge. Moreover, the standards of the existing bridge
will be taken into account, its design load, in particular,” Ghalechyan said.

The new bridge may be built parallel to the existing one.
The deputy minister noted we should wait for the feasibility study results,
which will help determine the length, width, and load of the new bridge.
