The European signature of Azerbaijani road engineering – Azvirt VIDEO
The reputation of Azerbaijan’s renowned road-construction company, Azvirt LLC, continues to grow in the Balkans. The company has achieved yet another success with the inauguration of a 20-kilometer section of the Zenica North–Golubinja highway, an integral part of Europe’s vital Corridor Vc. The section was constructed jointly by Azvirt and its consortium partner from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hering. Azvirt participated in the construction of the 5.3-kilometer Vranduk–Ponirak stretch, technically the most challenging section of this road. Despite its short distance, this portion includes two bridges, a tunnel, and three large, high viaducts (the tallest reaching 112 meters). Located mainly on steep slopes and cuttings, the highway required the design and construction of numerous high retaining walls.
The opening ceremony was attended by Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Nermin Nikšić, Minister of Transport and Communications of the Federation Andrijana Katić, Director of the public enterprise JP Autoceste FBiH Denis Lasić, Head of the EU Delegation to Bosnia and Herzegovina Luigi Soreca, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Azerbaijan to Bosnia and Herzegovina Vilayat Guliyev, Azvirt Executive Director Kamil Aliyev, and other officials.
In their speeches at the ceremony, Prime Minister Nermin Nikšić and other officials expressed their gratitude to the partners and contractors, expressing confidence that this success would bring tangible benefits to the region.
At the end of 2024, Azvirt, together with its Chinese consortium partners, completed another major project in Bosnia and Herzegovina: the Počitelj Bridge, an impressive engineering structure measuring 945 meters in length and supported by viaducts nearly 100 meters high. Furthermore, to date, the company has completed a series of key projects in Serbia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan, while continuing construction work on several others.
Kamil Aliyev, Executive Director of the company, emphasized that Azvirt continues to benefit from the care and support of the Azerbaijani government and President Ilham Aliyev in achieving these accomplishments. “Taking this opportunity, we express our gratitude to our country’s leadership for this support. Thanks to this backing, we have gained the opportunity to demonstrate Azerbaijan’s engineering potential and the professionalism of our specialists. Therefore, we strive to perform high-quality work on every project we undertake, honoring this trust and responsibility.”
In addition, Azvirt has spearheaded major infrastructure projects in Azerbaijan. Over the past five to six years, the company has completed the runways, aprons, and taxiways at Fuzuli, Zangilan, and Lachin international airports in Garabagh, as well as the construction of the Horadiz–Jabrayil–Zangilan–Aghband, Ahmadbayli–Fuzuli–Shusha, and Fuzuli–Hadrut highways, along with a section of the new Baku–Guba–Russian Federation state border highway. Azvirt is currently continuing work on challenging terrain along the Kalbajar–Lachin highway, at the Alat Cargo Terminal, on the Zangezur (TRIPP) railway corridor, and on the project to separate the Green and Red lines at the 28 May station of the Baku Metro.
