Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze says the renovation of Rustaveli Avenue will be fully completed by the end of November, in line with the original deadline, according to the Tbilisi City Hall.
The completed project will include the road, underground pedestrian passages, sidewalks, lighting poles and landscaping. However, traffic lights will remain switched off temporarily, Kaladze said.
He explained that the traffic lights will not be activated until the New Year celebrations are over, as their proper calibration requires around two weeks. Traffic will continue under a temporary traffic management scheme, while buses will retain their designated lanes.
Kaladze also announced that after the Rustaveli Avenue renovation is completed, Tbilisi City Hall plans to begin the redevelopment of Republic Square.
