Azerbaijan’s minister of transport, Ziya Mamedov, said construction and renovation of all trunk roads of international importance will be completed by 2017.
Around US$2.86 billion (€2.25 billion) will be needed for development of Azerbaijan's transport sector in 2015 as a part of a state investment programme, he said.
3260 World Highways reported earlier this month that the 943 Asian Development Bank (ADB) is supplying $350 million for road construction in the country for work between 2015 and 2017.
Meanwhile, a further $752 million from the ADB will be used to develop other aspects of infrastructure in Azerbaijan, such as general transportation and utilities over the same period.
Reconstruction of all Azerbaijan’s highways -- around 20,000km -- will cost around $38 billion and take up to 15 years, the ministry said in 2012.
