About Project
Within the framework of the Kvesheti-Kobi road project, the construction of 12.7 km long, two-lane asphalt-concrete road, 5 bridges and 4 tunnels, as well as the rehabilitation of 1 bridge is planned. The dimensions of the tunnels are1541 m, 194 m, 388 m and 299 m.
The total length of the bridges is 1.6 km. One of them will be a 426 m long and 166 m high arched bridge, which is the most difficult engineering construction. The length of its arch is 285 meters and, at this stage, it has no analogues in Georgia. The project also envisages the construction of 435 m long and relatively small (322 m, 218 m, 148 m and 42 m) bridges.
In addition to the main road infrastructure components, the project includes setting up a visitor center. This facility will serve as a potential center for agribusiness, conservation, ecotourism development and community sustainable development in the project area. The visitor center is a part of the project and it will directly benefit the local population of Khadi valley.
The construction of the Kvesheti-Kobi tunnel started in 2020 and will be completed in 2025.
