Some Baku roads may become payable

Some roads in the capital Baku may become payable if relevant proposals are approved, officials said.

“The measure will affect the quality of roads,” the head of a Transport Ministry department, Javid Gurbanov, told a local TV channel. The measure will apply mainly to highways, including new roads, as well as those in Icheri Sheher (Old City), a historic, ancient-style site downtown.

Gurbanov added that the construction of up-to-date roads will definitely benefit the state.*
