Georgia’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development has already rehabilitated 100 metres long overpass and utilised protective netting to control the rock fall and to prevent rock from falling off the rock face.
The Ministry announced intensive rock fall was dangerous for the passengers traveling across this territory. Meanwhile, as a result of the storm waves, the lower slope of the road was being washed which was created another problem for the passengers.
