The new roads will run through Arkhoti and Shkmeri
MDF will cut the new auto road in Arkhoti with length 25 – kilometer. The road will connect both – Northern (“thither”) and Southern (“hither”) Khevsureti to each other. Construction will begin in spring 2014. So far there’s only walking path here, and the locals who have left this region because lack of the road, can’t access theirs homes. Already 32 families have expressed their readiness to return the home after finishing road construction.
As for Sachkhere- Shkmeri – Oni road construction, the first tractor through Sachkhere- Shkmeri section of the road has passed in October 2013. After implementation of the project travel time will be reduced to 2.5 hours. But the most important is that, life returned to the empty valley of Zemo Racha (the Upper Racha). Construction of the road in this section will create many new social and economic perspectives. During the current year the project will be developed, after which the tender for the construction will be announced. The Municipal Development Fund will implement the construction project of Sachkhere- Shkmeri – Oni road.
