Bicycle Lane Laid on Pekini Street

Within the Pekini Street rehabilitation project in the Saburtalo district of Tbilisi, a one kilometer, 2.80 meter-wide bicycle line has been laid.

City Hall reports that two-way movement will be possible on the new bicycle lane and Tbilisi City Hall Transport Service will install signs.

Tbilisi Mayor, Davit Narmania, visited the site to see the works. He said that no such modern and comfortable bicycle lane had been made in Tbilisi before.

Narmania added that in laying the lane, the construction works are complete on Pekini Street.

“The sidewalk has been expanded and maximum comfort has been created for both cyclists and pedestrians,” the mayor stated.

The rehabilitation of one of the busiest streets in Saburtalo was launched this summer.

The first stage of the project involved covering the complete underground communications system restoration, followed by the reparation of the sidewalks. Georgian Water and Power Company renovated the water supply systems in the area, together with experts from the German Company RRT Ingenieurburo Weidt.

Moreover, new EU-standard blocking and regulating switches were installed and the 400-meter wastewater drainage system was renovated.

Mayor Narmania says Pekini Street will be officially opened on September 21.
