Ddmashen village, located in the Sevan community of Gegharkunik Province, is currently undergoing significant infrastructure improvements. Four of its streets are being thoroughly renovated under a subvention program spearheaded by the Armenian government.
Project Details and Funding
The total contract value for the Ddmashen street renovation project is set at 98.4 million Armenian Drams (AMD). This substantial investment is a collaborative effort, with 50 percent of the funding provided by the Government of Armenia and the remaining 50 percent contributed by the Sevan Municipality.
Scope of Work
The project encompasses a comprehensive range of improvements designed to enhance the village’s infrastructure and the quality of life for its residents. Key aspects of the renovation include:
- Asphalting: A total area of 7700 square meters of road surface will be asphalted, ensuring smoother and more durable roadways.
- Pavement Installation: New pavements will be installed, improving pedestrian access and safety.
- Curbstone and Gutter Installation: Curbs and gutters will be put in place to better manage water runoff and protect the integrity of the roads.
- Drainage System Construction: A new drainage system will be constructed to prevent flooding and further extend the lifespan of the renovated infrastructure.
These works are expected to significantly upgrade the village’s road network, making it more resilient to weather conditions and more convenient for both drivers and pedestrians.
Completion Timeline
Construction work on these four streets is slated to be completed within the year 2026. This timeline suggests a thorough and well-planned approach to the renovation, allowing for quality execution of all planned improvements.
