Georgia’s Transport Corridors
ADB helped improve four sections of the East-West Highway which carries over 60% of Georgia’s transit trade. The ongoing North-South Corridor is set to improve regional connectivity and cargo transit, while the ongoing Batumi bypass road will divert heavy traffic from the port city of Batumi to help boost trade and tourism. The ADB-financed Kobuleti bypass road has already helped to reduce traffic jams for Kobuleti residents and visitors, improve air quality, and create a safer environment. The upgraded network will strengthen Georgia’s position as a regional transport and logistics hub.
