A long-expected transport link was opened in Yerevan today, which,
specialists say, will completely change the face of the city center and
will considerably improve the state of transport communication. The
red ribbon of the newly constructed high-speed highway was cut by
President Serzh Sargsyan and ex-President Robert Kocharyan.

The last sector of the high-speed highway linking the southeastern and
northwestern parts of the city is 2.6 km long. The new highway will
considerably lighten the traffic on Mashtots and Tigran Mets Avenues,
as well as Khanjyan, Alex Manoogian, Isahakyan, Abovyan, Nalbandyan,
Koryun and Charents Streets and will reduce the time spent on roads.
