The State Agency of Azerbaijan Automobile Roads has built 11 more multi-profile highways with a total length of 2,460 meters within road infrastructure projects in the ‘White City’ in Baku, the agency told Trend.

According to the state agency, 4 and 2-lane roads were built on different streets of the city as part of the work.

As reported, 220,000 cubic meters of earthworks were carried out on these streets, a new roadbed was built, and all the necessary underground communications were laid. Work on laying a three-layer asphalt-concrete pavement with a thickness of 27 cm on an area of ​​16,000 square meters has also been completed.

“As part of the project, 16,000 square meters of sidewalks were built on the streets, and 18,000 square meters of paving stones were laid on them. Along the sidewalks and road junctions, 7,500 linear meters of granite-marble pavement were laid. Moreover, more than 350 different types of trees have been planted along the roads (on the sidewalks),” the agency noted.

“The central street of the same name, on which the Karabakh Horses Square is located, forms a 2-kilometer unobstructed pedestrian alley from Babek Avenue in the north, along the Fountain Square and the pedestrian crossing over Nobel Avenue to White City Boulevard. The opening of the street will provide another convenient passage from the White City to Babek Avenue,” said the agency.
