The Roads Department has issued four public tenders totaling 9.2 million GEL for riverbank reinforcement works along the Alazani River in eastern Georgia’s Signagi municipality.
The planned works will be implemented in four locations across three districts of the Milari area and in the village of Erisimedi. The department stated that the projects address ongoing erosion along the river which poses risks to both the stability of the riverbed and the safety of nearby land and infrastructure.
The Alazani River holds strategic importance as its riverbed forms part of the natural border between Georgia and Azerbaijan. As a result, the department emphasized that the reinforcement works are not only environmentally necessary but also critical for protecting the border zone.
The total estimated cost of the projects amounts to 9,205,249 GEL and will be financed from the state budget. The Roads Department noted that the tenders are currently open, with the deadline for bid submissions set for March.
