Facing Cold Wintry Weather
Friday evening the street lamps will glitter along the Hrazdan
ravine from the Kievian Bridge till the Arabkir gardens notifying
that a part of the town will also get free from the darkness of night
and will get a good town appearance. Frunzik Basentsian, the head of
Construction Department at Yerevan Municipality, opened the traditional
feedback of the past year at yesterday’s briefing. According to the
last year’s preliminary and additional projects, it was planed to
accomplish construction works of 9 billion 700 million drams. The end
of the second stage of Hrazdan ravine’s improvement was an important
component. According to the common city program, 76 streets will be
thoroughly repaired, including illumination of the streets.
In 2006 powerful and modern lights were installed in 15 more
streets. According to the head of the Department, they are planning
to finish illumination of the rest of Yerevan streets next year. Last
year 250 million drams were spent for repairing irrigation network.
6 of the 8 breakdown buildings that were on the reconstruction list
last year, were already put into use and the strengthening of one of
them will be finished soon.
In 2007 there will be also 8 repair works costing 705 million drams
and 5 of them are again in Ajapniak borough.
Frunzik Basentsian informed that they have finished paving roads
on municipal and communal money. Taking into consideration last
year’s experience, the paving stopped before the weather has become
colder. Last year, new potholes appeared in many streets as soon
as the paving works finished. The issue looms large as the wintry
weather promises snow.
