Yerevan has launched a pilot program aimed at improving street maintenance services in the city. During a government session held on November 6, Karen Grigoryan, the Deputy Mayor of Construction and Urban Development, announced that a short deadline has been set for the implementation of the program. The goal is to ensure that areas under repair are not left unfinished for weeks, but rather have damaged roads completely restored within a 24-hour timeframe. Grigoryan stated that by the end of June-July, all repairs, including asphalt overlay, should be completed.

In addition to this, Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan highlighted the requirement for the participating company to have either an asphalt plant or be part of a consortium that includes an asphalt plant. This will ensure the availability of necessary resources for the project. Avinyan further emphasized the need for thermoplastic signs, which should be fluorescent in nature, to be used for indicating the implementation of the repairs. Additionally, mobile units will be deployed to support the maintenance activities.

This initiative is a significant step towards improving the quality and efficiency of street maintenance services in Yerevan. The pilot program aims to address the issue of prolonged repairs and ensure that damaged roads are swiftly restored to minimize inconvenience for residents and commuters. By setting a short implementation deadline, the government is demonstrating its commitment to providing the necessary resources and support for timely completion of repairs.

The requirement for participating companies to have an asphalt plant or be part of a consortium reflects the importance of having access to essential infrastructure for seamless execution of the maintenance services. This will help avoid delays caused by a lack of resources or dependencies on external suppliers. Prime Minister Avinyan’s emphasis on using thermoplastic signs that are fluorescent in nature indicates a focus on safety and visibility, with the aim of providing clear indications to motorists and pedestrians during the repair process.

The deployment of mobile units is another positive aspect of this program. These units will facilitate on-site support and allow for immediate action in case of emergencies or any unforeseen issues that may arise during the maintenance activities. By having mobile units readily available, the government is ensuring a more efficient and effective approach to street maintenance.

Overall, this pilot program for street maintenance services in Yerevan marks a significant development in improving the city’s infrastructure. The government’s commitment to timely completion of repairs, availability of necessary resources, and emphasis on safety and visibility through the use of thermoplastic signs demonstrates a proactive approach towards enhancing the quality of life for residents and making Yerevan a more attractive city.
