Project on construction of a new railway communication Baku-Tbilisi-Kars may be considerably accelerated. This route will become an only transport corridor for cargo delivery from Caucasus and Asia via Caucasus to the Mediterranean Sea and back after the completion of the Georgian-Ossetia conflict.
It is necessary to construct 29-km railway section in Georgia (till the border with Turkey) and 76-km section in Turkey to open communication on this route. Establishment of a new branch will enable to increase considerably cargo traffic via the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkey transport corridor.
Construction of submarine tunnel under the Marmara project in Turkey will enable to unite this transport corridor with Europe. A 1.3km-long submarine section of the tunnel, which is laid under Bosporus, will become a component part of 70-km railway road and elevated subway. It is expected to finish both projects on the same term
