Railway infrastructure works are currently underway on the Kvishkheti–Khashuri section, announced Georgian Railways.
The company reports that around 200 personnel, along with heavy machinery, are involved in the works.
As part of the project, Director General of Georgian Railways Lasha Abashidze inspected the ongoing activities on site.
Capital repairs are being carried out along a three-kilometer stretch of railway track. Upon completion, train speeds on this section of the central railway corridor will increase to 100 km/h.
The upgrade is expected to reduce travel times for both passenger and freight trains. By the 2026 summer season, it will already be faster to travel between Tbilisi and Batumi by train.
Abashidze said railway infrastructure improvements are actively progressing across the country. These works aim to increase train speeds while also improving passenger comfort, the statement said.
