Government to Spend over 59 million GEL on Building Shatili Road

The Road Department has been actively implementing Shatili approach road rehabilitation works.

One section of the rehabilitation project, which is carried out as part of the Mountain Road project, is a constituent part of the Sno-Juta-Roshka-Shatili-Omalo-Khadori Gorge-Batsara-Akhmeta motorway.

Together with the Mountain Roads project, 2 other rehabilitation projects are being implemented with the financial support of the World Bank (WB) and three projects are being carried out with the financial support of the state budget.

‘Despite geological challenges, this year the road construction works were not suspended in Shatili. The objective of the project is to enable transport to valuably and safely drive on the approach road because landslips take place frequently and it is impossible to bypass 2 vehicles.

After completion of the road rehabilitation works, road parameters will be improved in the direction of Shatili. The road will be broadened, barriers will be arranged and the driving will be safer and more comfortable.

On the whole, over 86 kilometers of the road will be rehabilitated and 15 bridges will be constructed and repaired as part of the 12 projects. The total value of all projects exceeds 59 million GEL.
