A large project aimed at the rehabilitation of roads will soon begin in Georgia, announced the country’s Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili today.
A tender-winning Korean company will create the project in six months for the rehabilitation of these roads:
- Achkhoti-Sno-Aklatsikhe-Juta
- Tsitsamuri-Saguramo-Tskhvaritchamia
- Sadakhlo-Akhkerpi near Georgia-Armenia border
- Arkhiloskalo-Samtatskaro near Georgia-Azerbaijan border
- Tsalenjikha-Jvari-Jikhashkari
- Gupta-Oni
- Tbilisi-Manglisi
We think the rehabilitation of these internal roads is very important. First of all it will help to create new job places for local people,” said Kvirikashvili.
The project will be implemented within the Government’s four-point reform plan and spatial arrangement plan.
The construction of a new tunnel at the crossing of the Dariali and Devdorak gorges has begun in northern Georgia.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will allocate $80 million to help improve the conditions of secondary roads in Georgia.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has allocated €108 million to help improve regional connectivity and road transport efficiency in Georgia, while strengthening the country’s bid to become a regional transport and logistics hub.
Georgia is continuing to upgrade and modernise its main transport arteries in a bid to ensure roads meet international standards.
