The “Alilo” traditional procession will be held in connection with the Christmas holiday, because of which, on January 7, the traffic movement will be restricted on certain streets of the capital.
The procession will start from the First Republic Square at 14:00 and will continue until 16:00, at which time vehicles will be able to use alternative streets.
From Merab Kostava street to Giorgi Akhvlediani and Leo Kiacheli streets, it will be possible using Vashlovani and Ia Ekaladze streets. Also, cars moving from Revaz Tabukashvili Street to Merab Kostava Street, instead of the First Republic Square, will be able to move only through Rustaveli Avenue.
It will be possible to move from the First Republic Square towards Freedom Square for vehicles using the streets of Giorgi Leonidze, Pavle Ingorokva, Aleksandre Chavchavadze, Griboedov, Nikoloz Baratashvili, and Revaz Tabukashvili; from Petre Melikishvili Avenue to the other streets of Mtatsminda, Simon Janashia, Ivane Tarkhnishvili, Tamar Chovelidze, through the streets of Mikheil Zandukeli and then Vasil Barnov, Jacob Gogebashvili, Maro Makashvili, and brothers through Kakabadze streets.
In the wrong direction, drivers will be able to reach the area of Melikishvili Avenue and the metro station “Rustaveli” through Griboedov, Maro Makashvili, Vasil Barnov, Mikheil Zandukeli, and Akaki Shanidze streets.
From the area near the “Rustaveli” metro station to Freedom Square, cars will be able to move on Rustaveli Avenue through the road section before the intersection of Giorgi Chanturia Street, and then using the right bank of Chanturia Street and Mtkvari.
From 15:00 o’clock, for about 30 minutes, traffic will be completely restricted on Freedom Square, at which time it will be allowed to move to Pandus near Nikoloz Baratashvili Bridge and from Rustaveli Avenue to Giorgi Chanturia Street. Movement will be restricted from Kote Abkhaz and Shalva Dadiani streets to Freedom Square.
At this time, traffic will be allowed on Giorgi Chanturia Street. Movement in the direction of Rustaveli Avenue will be restricted: Lesia on Ukrainka, Archil Jorjadze, Chichinadze, April 9, Anton Purtseladze, and Lado Gudiashvili streets.
The procession will continue from Freedom Square in the direction of the Trinity Cathedral, during which time the movement will be gradually restricted: on Baratashvili Bridge, Nikoloz Baratashvili Hill, and Avlabri Square.
In order to restrict the traffic on Baratashvili Street, cars heading towards Freedom Square will be able to move using the right bank of Mtkvri and Kote Abkhaz Street, while Avlabri will be able to drive via a dry bridge – using the left bank of Costa Khetagurov and Mtkvri.
In the restriction of Avlabri square, cars moving from Ketevan Queen Avenue will continue to use Bochormi and Ialbuzi streets, as well as the left bank of Mtkvri, and with indirect directions, they will be able to drive through the Baratashvili bridge on the left bank of the Mtkvri in the same route.
Also, the route of public transport will be temporarily changed. Specifically, when moving from the First Republic Square to Rustaveli Avenue, the transport will move from Mikheil Javakhishvili Street to the right bank of Mtkvri, from where it will connect to Baratashvili Street.
