ANRO-1459

This 1981 medal marks the inauguration of the Arpa-Sevan Tunnel, a significant engineering achievement that has played a crucial role in Armenia's water management system. Completed on March 21, 1981, the 48.3 km long tunnel connects the Arpa River to Lake Sevan, serving to stabilize and replenish the lake's water levels. The construction of this impressive infrastructure project not only demonstrated Armenia's technical capabilities but also addressed critical ecological concerns in the region.
