Traffic restored on Tbilisi’s Tsereteli Avenue after renovation

Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze on Thursday announced the reopening of the Tsereteli Avenue in Tbilisi for both private and public transport traffic following nearly nine months of renovation works on the major street.

Kaladze said “all types” of underground communications, including water pipes, drainage and gas supply networks, had been replaced during the renovation works.

He said the placement of new outdoor lighting had been completed on one side of the avenue, with the works on the other side still ongoing, and noted setting up of “safety islands” for pedestrians on the street was “in the final stage” and would be followed by construction of public transport waiting areas.

The official added installation of traffic lights and road marking works would be completed “in the near future”, while pavements and landscaping works would end in March.
