From now on, one will be able to travel Garni and Geghard, one of the most popular tourist destination, without giant holes. A landslide 1,8 km section of the highway linking Voghjaberd was improved. But the main thing is that there is a special status on this path. From January 2018, the road service will be regular and periodic - all months of the year. "We have applied to the government so that the 1.8 kilometer section will be given a special status, so that we will avoid landslides during the whole year," said Ashot Arshakyan, Director of "Armenian Road Transport Directorate" SNCO. There are five landslides on the way to Geghard, this part is the longest, the rest are relatively short, 20, 30 or 50 meters, so the main focus is on this 1.8 km. Details are in the video.
