Construction of Grigoleti-Kobuleti Bypass Road to Reduce Travel Time

Construction works are underway on the 14.4 km section of the Grigoleti-Kobuleti bypass road. 

At this stage, ground stabilization works are being done and stone columns and drainage wicks are being arranged. The project envisages the construction of a 4-lane asphalt-concrete road, 22 bridge crossings, 4 traffic junctions, water pipes and underground exits.

The Samtredia-Grigoleti road will be connected to the Kobuleti bypass road via the Grigoleti-Kobuleti bypass section of the East-West Expressway, and the traffic flow from Grigoleti to Kobuleti will be accelerated by a high-speed highway.

This project will combine current and completed projects in the Black Sea resort area and a total of 110 km of new road from Samtredia to Chorokhi will allow us to travel quickly bypassing the resort areas. This is important for the country and the region, both for transit transportation and for the development of tourism and the improvement of the ecological situation in the tourist zone.

The construction of the new highway will fully ensure the flow of increasing traffic flows on the road of high international importance, safe road travel and uninterrupted transit traffic.

The cost of the project is 228 million GEL and is implemented with the financial support of the European Investment Bank. Work is scheduled to be completed in 2021.
