BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 6. Azerbaijan
Railways CJSC has completed the design phase for the reconstruction
and modernization of the railway infrastructure in the Nakhchivan
Autonomous Republic, with construction now underway in the Ordubad
district near the border with Armenia, Trend reports via the
company.
The project rolls out a railway line stretching over 188
kilometers, looking to set up a modern network that keeps up with
contemporary standards. Once major renovations are wrapped up, the
Nakhchivan railway’s annual cargo capacity is set to hit 15 million
tons.
As part of an agreement signed in Washington on August 8, 2025,
under the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity
(TRIPP), the railway connection along the Zangezur corridor will be
restored. The corridor, a critical segment of the North-South
transport route, is set to become a key transit link between Europe
and Asia, enhancing regional freight transportation.
