Traffic was opened on the new two-lane additional 12km of Kutaisi bypass road section of E60 East-West highway.
By now, two additional lanes of 40km Kutaisi bypass road are already constructed. The constructed sections will be put into operation by stage.
The 19km four-lane section, which was opened in the summer, today was added a 12 km four-lane highway. Due to safety conditions, two-way traffic will be temporarily opened on the 10km section of the road. Therefore, from today, while traveling on the East-West highway, drivers will detour the city of Kutaisi, and the travel time will be halved.
In 2020, on a scheduled basis, a total of 70km of highway was constructed, which will be fully operational in a few weeks.
The 41.3km Kutaisi-Samtredia bypass road was divided into 4 lots. Once the newly constructed sections are fully operational, traffic on this 4-lane road will be one-way.
Construction of a new 2-lanes on the Kutaisi bypass road will be completed in a few weeks.
