Mr. David Tkeshelashvili, Minister of Regional Development and Infrastructure and Mr. Ramaz Nikolaishvili, Chairman of Roads Department of Georgia, will open 8 km length Gamdlis Tskaro-Khurvaleti road section part of International Tbilisi-Senaki-Leselidze Highway.


Modernization of LHS road with cement-concrete pavement is completed and traffic was diverted to 8 km long Gamdlis Tskaro-Khurvaleti road section, in both directions. Modernization of mentioned road will be finalized by the end of the current year.

After the road is opened, traffic movement will become more comfortable as towards the West as well as to the East direction; that especially can be noticed in holiday season under the condition of increased traffic intensity.


Construction of E-60 highway was implemented by means of new technology – cement-concrete pavement – that is tested and approved in many developed countries and is distinguished by particular firmness and environmental safety. It has long lasting operational period and within 30-35 years the road does not require any rehabilitation works. It is profit-proved as vehicles run out of approximately less then 10 % fuel when driving on such type of pavement (according to the World Bank Experts’ conclusion).


Highway Parameters:


• Number of lanes - 4 lanes
• Max. longitudinal curve - 4 %
• Width of one-way carriageway -11,5 m
• Width of median line - 5.0 m
• Width of the lanes - 3,75 m
• Design speed - 120 km/h
