Khulo-Zarzma Highway reconstruction to be strategically important to region, PM says

Today, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, accompanied by Parliament Speaker Kakha Kuchava and Chairman of Ajara AR Government Tornike Rizhvadze, observed the state-funded road’s reconstruction.

Head of the Roads Department Giorgi Tsereteli briefed PM on Kuwait Fund-financed works carried out simultaneously on a 42-kilometre section of the same road.

Batumi (Angisa)-Akhaltsikhe Highway’s (Khulo-Zarzma) Project consists of three sections, and a total of 47 kilometres of roads, and seven bridges, will be rehabilitated/reconstructed, with two-lane asphalt and concrete surface to be paved.

Renovated Khulo-Zarzma Highway worth approximately GEL 110 million will offer the shortest route between the Samtskhe-Javakheti and Adjara regions.

The upgraded road will cut travel time from Batumi to Akhaltsikhe by 90 minutes.
