This week, the Roads Department of Georgia announced an international tender for the construction of new roads that will connect Georgia with Armenia and Azerbaijan. This project, to be financed through a €250 million loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB), involves the construction of key road sections as part of the East-West and South-North international corridors.
The project includes the Rustavi-Red Bridge road section extending to the Azerbaijan border and the Algeti-Sadakhlo road leading to the Armenia border. It will involve building 61.3 km of a four-lane concrete highway equipped with an external lighting system, 26 bridges, and 11 traffic junctions, all designed to meet international road safety standards.
The construction has been divided into four lots, with two tenders announced so far. Work is set to begin in 2025 and is expected to be completed within 30 months. This effort will be co-financed by the EIB and the Government of Georgia. The World Bank has supported the design phase of the road sections, which was carried out by a Dutch company.
