    YEREVAN, AUGUST 1, NOYAN TAPAN. On August 1 the Armenian president
    Serge Sargsian participated in the opening ceremony of the transport
    subway near the Airarat Cinema, at the crossroads of Yerevan's Tigran
    the Great, Khanjian and Agatangeghos Streets. The transport node
    starts from Khorenatsi Street and ends in Khanjian Street in front
    of the Pegagogical Academy. It ensures an interrupted movement from
    Agatangeghos Street to Khanjian Street and in the opposite direction,
    and a pedestrian crossing is regulated by traffic lights. Griar
    company began the construction of the transport node by design of
    Yerevanproject Institute in June 2007, the program cost made 1 billion
    845 million drams which was allocated from the RA state budget. The
    total length of the node is 360 meters, the length of the underground
    part is 80 meters, its width - 15 meters.

    During the opening ceremony Yerevan's mayor Yervand Zakharian stated
    that this structure is one of the junction points of the complex road
    construction program that will ensure tranport flows along a freeway
    with a large capacity which is being built in Saralanj, bypassing the
    Small Center of the city and considerably reducing the time of movement
    from the southern to north-eastern parts of Yerevan. "Today the rapid
    and large-scale construction of Saralanj highway, Getar freeway,
    and work done in Heratsi, Charents, Koryun, Alek Manukian, Nalbandian
    and Khanjian Streets is in the junction phase and will be completed
    in late September," the mayor said, adding that in order to deal with
    traffic congestion in the city's center, it is envisaged to build soon
    underground parking lots at Opera Square, Sharles Aznavour Square,
    Shahumian Square and Sakharov Square and near Yerevan Cycle Track.
