“Construction of a new tunnel under Atlybuyunsky pass (Buynakskiy pass) is planned. Yesterday, the head of Dagavtodor Zagid Khuchbarov met with a representative of design and survey institute, JSC Lengidroproekt, Vadim Petrov. The issue of choosing an optimal road direction of the designed object was on the agenda,” he said.
He noted that, at present, the serpentine section of the pass is one of the most dangerous in the country, where accidents often occur.
