The second stage of rehabilitation of Shota Shalikashvili Bridge is underway. Kakha Kaladze, the Mayor of Tbilisi, inspected today the rehabilitation works.

As it known, along with the renovation of Akaki Tsereteli Avenue, the Tbilisi City Hall is also commencing the rehabilitation of the bridge of Shota Shalikashvili (Didube bridge).

This bridge was built in 1953 and since then, rehabilitation works are being carried out for the first time.

According to the project, the 152-meter-long bridge will be completely rehabilitated, after which the roadway and pavement will be renewed, the damaged areas of the arches, railings and parapets will be rehabilitated.

What’s more, tiles will be cleaned and re-tiled and outdoor lighting will be installed. The implementation process of all projects of this scale creates some inconvenience in terms of movement.
