ArmInfo. The landslide on the interstate highway
Yerevan-Sevan-Ijevan-Georgian border is still going on.

Press-secretary of the Armenian Minister of Transport and Communication
Sousanna Tonoyan told ArmInfo that the landslide destroyed a 150 m
long road section at the 114th kilometer of the highway. Armenian
Minister of Transport and Communication Manouk Vardanyan, who went
to Tavush region to study the situation, instructed the relevant
bodies to conduct preliminary research and present possible variants
of temporary exploitation of the highway and construction of an
alternative road. The results of the research will be submitted
for discussion of the government. At the moment the inter-regional
transport routes are somewhat changed. The Ijevan-Yerevan-Ijevan route
passes via the town of Berd, and the Noyemberyan-Yerevan-Noyemberyan
passes along the road Yerevan-Alaverdi-Yerevan.
