The construction of the Aghband–Kelaleh road bridge has been completed, Deputy Prime Minister Shahin Mustafayev, co-chair of the Azerbaijan-Iran State Commission from the Azerbaijani side, said at the 17th meeting of the Commission on cooperation in economic, trade, and humanitarian fields held in Baku, APA reports.
He stated that the bridge is expected to be put into operation once the construction of border and customs infrastructure is completed.
Shahin Mustafayev noted that the project will connect the East Zangazur economic region with Nakhchivan via the shortest and most efficient route and will also form an important part of a favorable road corridor linking the Persian Gulf with the Black Sea.
