Georgia will be connected to Turkey by a new highway. The existing coastal road will be replaced with a new 11.3-kilometer asphalt-concrete road, which will link to the Batumi Bypass Road via a new bridge over the Chorokhi River. The key section of the new highway will be a 7.6-kilometer tunnel that bypasses residential areas.
The tender covers supervision of construction works, with an estimated value of 14 million USD. The Asian Development Bank finances the project. According to the published statement, the supervision services will last for 48 months. The 11.3-kilometer road project will bypass the settlements of Gonio, Kvariati, and Sarpi. The total length of the planned road is 11.4 kilometers. The project includes the construction of a junction, three overpasses, and a two-lane tunnel. Additionally, expansion works are planned on the final section of the road within the village of Sarpi, according to the project description.
