BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 7

By Tamilla Mammadova – Trend:

Infrastructure work on the Georgian section of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars (BTK) railway is approaching the final stage, the administration of the Georgian side of the BTK project told Trend.

"Infrastructure, start-up and commissioning works are underway alongside construction of snow shields and fences. Testing of the installed alarm, centralization and blocking and communication systems is also carried out," the administration said.

According to the source, measures are being taken on the entire Georgian section to comply with safety regulations and standards.

“We are working hard to complete the work before the onset of cold weather,” said the Georgian side of the project.

Meanwhile, a mechanized point for unloading large-tonnage containers has been created on the Georgian section of the railway, which is equipped with a crane with a lifting capacity of 46 tons. Anti-snow galleries are alsoinstalled.

The BTK railway has been built on the basis of the Azerbaijani-Georgian-Turkish intergovernmental agreement. It can greatly reduce the time of delivery of goods from China to Europe via Azerbaijan, which makes this route especially attractive.
