Why Unprecedented Issues with Asphalt Have Emerged This Year: Avinyan

Why have unprecedented issues related to asphalt emerged this year? This question was raised by Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan during a procedural consultation, addressing Armen Harutyunyan, the director of the Urban Development and Investment Program Implementation division at the Yerevan Municipality.

In response, Harutyunyan explained: “According to our study, we had a preliminary plan for pothole repairs, which was based on existing potholes mapped out by square meters. However, considering the weather conditions, which limited our working days, we were unable to repair the existing potholes. This led to the formation of larger potholes.”

Avinyan inquired about the timeline for completing the pothole repairs, to which Harutyunyan responded: “We will complete the initial volumes within this week, and new volumes have been documented. I believe we will bring it to a zero condition within two weeks.”
