Russia has actively launched construction to widen the road near Lars border checkpoint. This is what the spokesperson of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of Armenia said during a conversation with Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Armenian truck drivers have been stuck on the road leading to Lars border checkpoint for nearly ten days with their cargo.

“The ministry is aware of the issue. Some truck drivers pass during the day. The ministry is actively working with the consulate to give priority to truck drivers with goods that might become rotten,” the spokesperson said, adding that road construction will end in 2023.
