Due to the lack of roads, most of the population of Khada Valley does not have access to social services, including, for example, medical services. The new Kvesheti-Kobi road, along with many other problems, will fully address this issue as well. Before that, during the project, we will try to help the people living here with similar actions” said Alexander Tevdoradze, Deputy Chairman of the Roads Department of Georgia.
