Tbilisi City Hall is launching a renovation of Melikishvili Avenue. According to Tbilisi Deputy Mayor Irakli Bendeliani, the rehabilitation of Melikishvili Street will start in early June and end in late November.
At a Tbilisi City Assembly meeting earlier today, Kaladze spoke about the "worst conditions" of the Avenue, mentioning underground communications and road surface of the four-lane street that "cannot withstand criticism" due to years of neglect.
“Melikishvili Avenue will connect to [the recently renovated] Chavchavadze Avenue, with the entire area finally being fully renovated,” the Mayor said.
As part of the project, city authorities plan to complete the following works: full replacement of underground communication network; setting up of drainage system; moving of overhead cables underground; installation of new lighting posts with modern LED lights, laying of new road surface; setting up of a bus lane, new bus stops and bicycle lanes; installation of underground waste containers.
Kaladze said all infrastructure set up on the Avenue would be adapted for people with disabilities.
