Shukurbeyli–Jabrayil–Hadrut highway (Azerbaijani: Şükürbəyli–Cəbrayıl–Hadrut avtomobil yolu) is a four-lane highway in Azerbaijan running through the Khojavend, Fuzuli and Jabrayil districts. It links the Shukurbeyli section of the Hajigabul–Horadiz–Aghband–Zangezur corridor highway with the settlement of Hadrut.[1]
The highway has a total length of 39.7 km and provides access to around 20 settlements, including Jabrayil and Hadrut.[1]
History
A foundation-laying ceremony for the highway was held on 15 March 2021, and construction started immediately afterwards.[1]
The 14.2 km Shukurbeyli–Jabrayil section was commissioned on 19 October 2022.[2] An additional 8.2 km section was commissioned on 5 May 2023.[3]
Design
The highway is being built as a four-lane, technical-category I road.[4] The carriageway width is 14–14.5 m and the roadbed width is 21.5 m.[1]
The project includes multiple drainage and protection structures, including circular culverts, nine box culverts, and animal underpasses intended to reduce impacts on fauna.[5] Six road bridges are part of the route, including a bridge designed at the intersection with the Hajigabul–Mincivan–Zangezur corridor alignment to enable grade-separated access.[1]
The new alignment replaces an older 42 km route and shortens the corridor by 2.3 km to 39.7 km.[2][3]
