Georgian Railways has started the restoration of Tbilisi Central Station. According to State Railway data, the first three platforms will be completely updated. The dismantling of the existing cladding has already begun. New, high and modern platforms will be installed in their place. The reconstruction includes dismantling the underground passage between the platforms as well as the stairs leading from the Tbilisi Central Station building to the platforms. According to the project, instead of a staircase for pedestrians, four new escalators will be installed at the station. Passenger waiting areas will also be updated. During the restoration, fire fighting equipment and emergency lighting will be installed on the platforms. The total cost of the complete reconstruction of Tbilisi Central Station is about 7 million GEL. The Georgian Railway plans to complete the repair work in just a year - in the fall of 2027. The amount of the contract is 3.29 million dollars (7 million GEL).
