The bridge No.8 is a left-right separated bridge with a total length of 759.4 meters. It is the longest concrete I-beam bridge in the project, with a total of 207 beams, accounting for one-third of the total number of I-beams in the project. Tunnel No.6 is the latest tunnel to start construction, with a total length of 280.9 meters on the right side.
During the construction, the project department carefully planned and organized, reasonably arranged the construction, took effective prevention measures, and overcame many difficulties to promote the project construction in quality and quantity as planned. The bridge No.8 and the tunnel No.6 were completed, successfully linking the tunnel No.5 and the bridge No.7, laying a solid foundation opening to traffic by stages.
Project rendering
The E60 Highway in Georgia connects the capital Tbilisi to the port city Batumi, running through the east and west of Georgia, and is an important section connecting the main traffic routes in Asia and Europe. After completion, it will greatly relieve the traffic pressure on the existing sections of E60, greatly shorten the passenger and freight time between Tbilisi and Batumi and Poti, as well as increase employment opportunities, which is of great significance to Georgia and regional development. With a design speed of 100 kilometers per hour,the 13.05-kilometer-long, four-lane, and 76.7% bridge-to-tunnel ratio section F3 constructed by CCCC is a key section of the E60 project.
