After repairs, a large number of traffic lights and pedestrian crossings will appear on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi, and the paving stones on the First Republic Square will be dismantled. Nino Begashvili, head of the capital's transportation and urban development agency, spoke about it. According to her, the main change will be that if traffic now passes through the boulevard, then after restoration it will not be necessary. I mean the following: today, if a car drives from Freedom Square, it definitely has to turn around the Olive Tree to get to Chevchvadze Street or Lesi Ukrainka Street. However, according to the new plan, after the rehabilitation is completed, intersections with traffic lights will be installed on all these streets. About 30% of the traffic flow used to go through Rustaveli Avenue precisely because they had to turn around there; Now they will be reduced. Begashvili said. The restoration of the capital's central boulevard began on July 23 and, as announced, should be completed in 4 months, that is, by the end of November. What changes are expected: Complete replacement of outdated underground networks and collectors Overhead lines: all hanging wires will be removed underground Road renovation, laying of new asphalt and complete reconstruction of sidewalks for pedestrians The appearance of specially designated bicycle paths Renewal of green spaces and elements of urban infrastructure.
