In the Qobustan settlement of Garadagh district, a worn-out bridge on the 55th kilometre of the M2 highway has been torn down to make way for a new structure. It is the fourth such project in the settlement and the sixth across the district.
The Azerbaijan Automobile Roads State Agency has launched another bridge construction project in Garadagh district as part of its ongoing road upgrade programme. The previous bridge in the Qobustan settlement, located on the 55th kilometre of the M2 highway running from Baku through Alat to Gazakh and on to the Georgian border, was deemed unfit for use and has now been demolished, with a modern replacement structure being built in its place.
The agency said the old bridge had reached the end of its service life, with its technical condition deteriorating, prompting the new build. It is the fourth bridge to be renewed in the Qobustan settlement in recent times, and the sixth bridge in Garadagh district whose reconstruction has begun in recent months.
According to the agency, three bridges have already been fully completed in Qobustan. In addition, bridges on the 13th kilometre of the Sangachal-Cheyildagh road and the 2.2 kilometre of the Lokbatan-Guzdek road have been renewed and reopened to traffic.
Installation work is currently underway on the latest bridge in the Qobustan settlement. The agency said the aim of these construction projects is to improve the reliability of the road network, enhance traffic safety and ensure the smooth movement of vehicles.
