The World Bank is continuing to help Georgia improve its main transport artery, the East-West Highway, by offering €16.9 million.
Georgia’s Finance Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze and the World Bank Regional Director for the South Caucasus Mercy Tembon signed the corresponding agreement today in Tbilisi.
The financial assistance worth €16.9 allocated by the World Bank will be spent on improving an 11km section of the East-West Highway that stretches from Chumateleti to Khevi.
The existing two-lane road will be transformed into a four-lane highway.
The works will be concluded by 2020, announced Georgia’s Ministry of Finance.
