The World Bank Group’s Board of Directors has approved a $372 million credit package to support the development of Georgia’s railway and road sectors.
According to the World Bank, $190 million will be allocated to Georgian Railways, including the purchase of new locomotives, modernization and construction of electric substations, and institutional strengthening of the company.
The remaining $182 million will be directed toward road infrastructure development in the Kakheti region, specifically the construction of four-lane highways between Badiauri–Chalaubani and Chalaubani–Bakurtsikhe.
The project is part of broader efforts to improve the efficiency of the Middle Corridor, enhancing Georgia’s transport connectivity and resilience. Authorities say the investments will support faster and safer freight movement, improve infrastructure productivity, and strengthen long-term economic growth through better integration into global trade routes.
