Within the framework of the 47-kilometer Khulo-Zarzma road project, asphalt-concrete pavement has already been laid on 44 kilometers, while work continues on the remaining 3 kilometers. According to Revaz Sokhadze, due to landslide sections, an international tender will be announced for the remaining problematic part. After the completion of the project, the travel time from Batumi to Akhaltsikhe will be reduced by approximately 1.5 hours, and the completion of the work is planned in stages between 2026 and 2027. 1TV+6
