Introduction 1.1. General Information about the Project The transport sector development is of great importance to the economic growth and poverty reduction in Georgia. Poor transport infrastructure increases the business production costs, hinders attraction of foreign investments, growth of transit volume, and economic activity of the country’s population. Georgia, with its favorable geographic location is situated at the crossroads of the East-West (the Black and Caspian Seas) and the North-South (between Russia and Turkey) transit lines. The development of the country’s national economy, in particular its trade with neighboring countries requires development of transport network. The Batumi (Angisa) – Akhaltsikhe national highway (S-1), with a total length of 159 km, runs through the Autonomous Republic of Adjara and Samtskhe-Javakheti region. It connects the Senaki - Poti - Sarpi (Turkish border) (S-2), Khashuri - Akhaltsikhe - Vale (Turkish border) (S- 8) and Akhaltsikhe - Ninotsminda (Armenian Border) (S-11) international highways with various regions of the country and neighboring states. According to the Roads Department of Georgia the average daily traffic intensity of the Batumi - Akhaltsikhe road by 2008 was as follows: Table 1.1 Section Year Motorcars Vans Buses and Trailers Total trucks Shuakhevi-Khulo 55-80 2008 306 140 32 1 478 Khulo-Zarzma 80-128 2008 105 35 38 4 182 Zarzma-Adigeni 128-140 2008 246 10 5 7 267 The projected section of 80 km - 110 km of the road is in poor condition and requires rehabilitation and reconstruction of some areas. In particular, the road cover on the projected section of the road is mainly gravel, in some sections of the road the cover is asphalt-concrete, which is worn out, distressed, shoulders are damaged. Because of absence of drainage system the roadway is gullied, the transverse profile of slopes is breached. The surface cover has different types of defects and damages. Culverts require cleaning and restoration, most of them shall be replaced with new pipes. The bridges need restoration, in order to adjust curvatures it is necessary to offset locally the roadbed in some areas; 2 bridges shall be rehabilitated and in place of 2 bridges shall be built a new bridge and a specific pipe. The completion of the works will improve the capacity of the road and better connect Batumi and Akhaltsikhe with Beshumi, which in turn will make this ski resort under construction in this village more attractive and comfortable for tourists. Meanwhile, a better road will improve promote the social and economic conditions of the Upper Adjara and Samtskhe- Javakheti population. The traffic intensity forecast after the project implementation is given in Table 1.2.
