YEREVAN UNDERGROUND RAILWAY TO HAVE NEW STATION BY 2010

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 27, ARMENPRESS: A deputy Yerevan mayor Slava Avetisian said today the authorities plan to build a new station for the Yerevan Underground that will reach to a suburb on the northern outskirts of the city.
Speaking to reporters today the deputy mayor said though next year’s government budget does not earmark money for resumption of construction of the station in Achapnyak district, money may come from the reserve fund of the government.
Avetisian said the construction of the new line is estimated to cost about $27 million. He said some $6 million worth work had been done already. The government subsidy for the Underground next year is 909 million Drams.
