Repair and modernization works aimed at expanding and improving the infrastructure have been completed.
The main goal is to increase the competitiveness of the Middle Corridor and turn the BTK into the main freight artery of the region.
Increasing the capacity to 5 million tons per year is a significant step in the development of the region’s transport infrastructure.
This project will significantly expedite the delivery of goods from China and Central Asian countries to Europe through the territory of Azerbaijan.
Equally important is the fact that the volume of transit cargo along this route continues to grow.
Over the past years, it has more than doubled, reaching 6.8 million tons in 2023.
This growth demonstrates the increasing significance of this transport corridor for freight transportation.
The establishment of a joint venture between Azerbaijan and Georgia demonstrates a commitment to further development and optimization of operations management along the BTK line.
This partnership will attract new cargoes and enhance the efficiency of transportation.
Thus, the resumption of freight transportation on the Georgian section of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars line is an important event not only for Azerbaijan and Georgia but also for the entire region, promoting the development of trade and economic ties between the East and the West.
