Gazanfar Safarov, an associate of State Agency of Azerbaijan Automobile Roads (AAY) said that the newly built road is 9.2 km shorter than the existing road: “The width of the soil bed is 15 meters, and the width of each lane is 3.75 meters in the second technical grade highway with a total length of 34 kilometers. The highway has been shortened by 9.2 kilometers as a result of the elimination of the newly constructed road tunnels and hard turns. In total, 2 bridges, 4 tunnels and culverts will be built on the road.
Excavation works have been done at the entrance and exit portals of the first and third tunnels, which are 440 and 1100 meters long. Works on the other two tunnels - the second and fourth tunnels with lengths of 540 and 300 meters - will start soon.”
