The project includes construction of a 105-km railway line and reconstruction of the Akhalkalaki-Marabda-Tbilisi section in Georgia. The line will have a capacity of 30 million tons of goods a year.

The railway will be connected with the EU as soon as construction of the Marmaray Tunnel under the Bosphorus is completed.
