Extra signs and protective barriers have been installed on each section to provide safety for the road users. The VGT road remains open for traffic and passable. 

 

Overallcost for the Kakheti Regional Roads Improvement Project is $ 37.5 million, out of which $24 million is being spent for the construction of the Vaziani-Gombori-Telavi road. The objective of the Project is to reduce transport costs and improve access and traffic safety for the Kakheti regional roads.

 

The Gombori-Telavi section of the VGT road is known to be prone to land slips. These land slips are caused by unstable mountain slopes resulting in continuous soil movement in specific areas. This has also historically affected local houses and created landscape typical of land slips. The Government is fully aware of a land slip area affecting the road.
