Well-regulated road infrastructure - Sustainable development of the road network is an essential component for smooth movement on the roads. This development would include three main areas:

 

1. Constructing new roads, tunnels, bridges, and overpasses.

 

2.  Upgrading existing roads.

 

3. Repairing potholes on existing roads.

 

To develop the city's road infrastructure and relieve traffic jams, at minimum we would need to implement the following infrastructure projects:

 

  • Building a two-level overpass at the intersection of Tamarashvili and University Streets.

 

  • Connecting the new highway from Vere Gorge with the tunnel leading to Laguna Vere at Heroes' Square.

 

  • Arranging two levels of traffic through a tunnel on Marshal Gelovani Square near the Tiger and Knight Monument.

 

  • Building a ramp on the left side of Galaktioni Bridge, where it crosses Ushangi Chkheidze Street.

 

  • Arranging two levels of traffic at the intersection of Sheshelidze and Gobronidze Streets for vehicles moving from Mukhiani.

 

  • Constructing a bridge connecting the Marneuli and Rustavi highways to the lower Samgori on the Mtkvari River.

 

  • It is especially important to develop transverse connections in the city - building new bridges over the Mtkvari River, moving the railway, and constructing a bridge to the Tiger and the Knight monument.

 

Railway Relocation - The transport network on the streets adjacent to the railway is underdeveloped, and road connections and access are complicated. The nearest transport links are only four kilometers away. As a result, much of the central part of Tbilisi is unused and underdeveloped compared to the rest of the city and difficult to access in terms of transport. By relocating the railway, the surrounding streets would be completely relieved of traffic, and we would build a much shorter highway connecting Tbilisi to the east (Kakheti) and west (Mtskheta). Relocating the railway would also reduce the number of cars in the central parts of the city by two thousand per hour. We would build new road connections across the highway and refurbish and develop the transport network adjacent to the railway with several important new junctions. We would split the road around Isani Bridge in two, with one artery following the existing railway line and the other joining the new avenue.
