By a decision of the Cabinet of Ministers from 30 December 2012, additional funds in the amount of 5.5 million manats were allocated for the construction of the road. The total cost of the project is 8,526,000 manats. As part of the project, a road 29.5 km in length has been built, concrete drains installed in 18 locations and traffic signs put up. Three bus stops at the beginning of the road have been renovated and 10 new bus stops built in villages. A pavement has been installed in the section of the road passing through the village of Ivanovka for the safety of pedestrians. The commissioning of the road has created favourable conditions for the convenient and smooth movement of vehicles and is very important from the point of view of passenger safety.
