Construction of the strategically important road to the Jojug Marjanli village of Azerbaijan’s Jabrayil region has entered the final stage.

The village was fully liberated by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces from the Armenian occupation in April 2016.

The country’s road operator Azeravtoyol JSC, which is engaged in the construction of the new road to the village, reported that road signs, information boards and road marking will be set along the road after the completion of the construction.

The length of the two-lane road is 9 kilometers with width of 12 meters .

During the construction work, Azeravtoyol restored two-span road bridge with a length of 24 meters and width of 10 meters.

The new road will facilitate movement of residents of seven settlements – Gazakhlar, Horadiz, Arayatli, Ahmadbayli, Gahramanli, Imamverdili, and Jojug Marjanli village.

In late January 2017, President Ilham Aliyev ordered to restore Jojug Marjanli. Under the order, 4 million manats were allocated for the construction of 50 private houses, a school building and relevant infrastructure at the first stage.

Moreover, President signed an order on additional measures to construct the road leading to the liberated Jojug Marjanli village and allocated 4.3 million manats from the state budget for the construction of 9 km long highway in the village.
