Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze says studies are underway on a potential new road connection between Mtskheta and Didi Digomi, aimed at easing traffic congestion in the capital.
Speaking during a debate on Rustavi 2, Kaladze said discussions have already taken place with the Ministry of Infrastructure and research is being carried out to determine the feasibility of the project.
“I have not said this yet and I will say it for the first time on your programme: we have had several meetings with the Ministry of Infrastructure and research work is underway regarding new road infrastructure,” the Tbilisi mayor said.
Kaladze noted that the study will determine what type of project could be implemented to create an alternative entrance from Mtskheta to Didi Digomi.
He also highlighted another possible infrastructure project, involving the construction of a high-speed highway linking Avchala-Zahesi and Lilo without entering the city center.
“If a high-speed highway is built in the direction of Lilo via Avchala-Zahesi without entering the city, this is also a very important project,” Kaladze said.
The mayor did not provide a timeline for either project, saying the results of the ongoing studies are expected in the near future.
