Moreover, apart from this, rehabilitation works are being carried out on the 28 km section of the Khornabuji-Samtatskaro highway in the territory of Dedoplistskaro municipality in the Kakheti region.
The road section has not been carried out for 30 years. The existing road was mostly gravel and damaged, and road transport was delayed, especially in rainy weather, which created a big problem for the population using the road.

The works are planned to be completed in the summer of 2023.
