General Information: Accessible and reliable roads are a vital component of improving infrastructure in the RDP clusters. They are also a central economic element of the Rural Development Program serving as the key artery connecting the villages to the potential markets.

In the past, poor condition of the roads coupled with the remoteness from the markets has brought isolation and lack of available capital to the communities. While the Program is aiming at economically derived infrastructure, ensuring decent roads will be a potent stimulus and speed up economic recovery and development of the region. Below is the list of the Lori cluster villages with the information on the length of inter-communal as well as internal roads in need of repair.

Apaven: The road rehabilitation initiative requires the reconstruction of about 1km of internal roads and a repairing 1km road linking the village to the main road.

Artsni: The community’s access road that links the village to the main road is 2.8 km and is in need of repair. 3 km of the intra communal roads are in unsatisfactory condition as well.

Dzyunashogh : The length of the road connecting the village to the main road is 4 km. The length of the internal road in need of repair is 2 km.
