In Azerbaijan, 67% of the construction work and 84% of the planning work on the new railway line between Horadiz and Aghband has been completed. The line is intended to serve as the eastern access point to the future Zangezur Corridor through southern Armenia. Earthworks and civil engineering structures are currently being carried out on the section. The line will include eight stations, 40 bridges, 26 road crossings, four tunnels, three galleries and numerous retaining walls, totalling 553 structures. At the same time, construction has begun in Turkey on the Kars – Dilucu line, which will connect the Zangezur Corridor with the Turkish railway junction at Kars and will be designed as an electrified double-track line for 15 million t of freight and 5.5 million passengers per year.
