The new roads connect Yerevan-Artashat and Yerevan-Ashtarak,
sections 2 and 3 respectively. The North-South Road Corridor is an
important infrastructure that will link Armenia with Iran and,
through Georgia, with the Black Sea.

The works carried out in section 2 include the expansion and
reconstruction of the M2 Highway between the capital city of Yerevan
and Artashat, a 20 km long infrastructure. The road has now three
lanes each way and the existing pavement has been totally renewed and
replaced with concrete pavement. Entries and exits of the highway and
drainage ditches have also been rehabilitated. A new lighting system
is also in place.

M1 Highway has been rebuilt in the 11 km long section 3, between
the cities of Yerevan and Ashtarak. The road alignment has been
modified in each of the two-lane carriageways, now made of concrete
pavement. New entries and exits to the highway have been built and a
new drainage system is in place.

In addition to these two new sections, Isolux Corsan is
undertaking the construction of a highway with two-lane carriageways
connecting the cities of Ashtarak and Talin, northwest of Yerevan.
This 42 km long infrastructure connects with section 3. The layout of
this highway includes different sections to be widened (25km in
total) and other sections to be realigned (17 km in total). A total
of 150 drainage works, 20 different structures (underpasses and
overpasses) and various road entries and exists are also included in
the project.
