Batumi Bypass Road: Improving Georgia’s Connectivity

As part of its efforts to enhance Georgia's transport infrastructure and road network, the Asian Development Bank supported the construction of a new 16-kilometer Batumi Bypass Road. The road diverts heavy traffic away from the port and tourist city of Batumi, helping strengthen the country’s economic opportunities, improving internal and regional connectivity, and reinforcing its position as the region's preferred route for trade and cargo movement. It also reduces congestion and noise in Batumi while improving air quality and contributing to the well-being of residents and visitors.

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.
