Road Infrastructure
During the war, the entire road system was completely
destroyed. During the past three years, the government of Nagorno Karabakh
has been constructing the North-South
Highway, funded primarily through donations from the Armenian Diaspora.
When completed, the highway will span about 105 miles and will serve
as a "backbone" for the Republic's transportation needs. A
network of smaller roads is needed to connect villages to regional centers.
Today, bad weather often makes travel to many villages
virtually impossible due to the deplorable road conditions. Poor roads
also seriously impact agricultural and small business development, making
it difficult to transport the goods to markets.
Suggested Program and Budget:
Construction of local roads (250 miles) - $25
million.
