A rockfall was observed on the rocky slope on the Chabua Amirejibi highway yesterday, the existing nets will be removed and a new modern project will be implemented. Such a statement made today the Mayor of Tbilisi.

“Yesterday, a rockfall was observed on the rocky slope on the Chabua Amirejibi highway. Although the relevant project was implemented in the mentioned area in the form of protective nets, another project needs to be implemented in order it to be more protected.

The first thing that has been done is that the danger has been completely eliminated. We will start the implementation of works. An anchoring will be made to prevent this problem from happening again.

The protective nets that are on these rocks cannot support and contain the fallen mass that was observed. Therefore, a slightly different project will be implemented. We involved specialists in the field. The nets will be removed and a new modern project will be implemented.

In addition, due to the planned measures, for one month from August 16 of this year, the traffic will be partially restricted in the section from the tunnel leading to Sulkhan Tsintsadze Street to Mikheil Tamarashvili Street on the Chabua Amirejibi highway.

The works will be carried out on one side of the highway, while it will be possible to move in the other lane”, - said Kakha Kaladze.
