YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 27, ARMENPRESS: A deputy Yerevan mayor Slava
Avetisian said today the authorities plan to build a new station for
the Yerevan Underground that will reach to a suburb on the northern
outskirts of the city.

Speaking to reporters today the deputy mayor said though next year’s
government budget does not earmark money for resumption of construction
of the station in Achapnyak district, money may come from the reserve
fund of the government.

Avetisian said the construction of the new line is estimated to cost
about $27 million. He said some $6 million worth work had been done
already. The government subsidy for the Underground next year is 909
million Drams.
