en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, connecting Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey, officially reopened on the 2nd after completing modernization upgrades.

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated at the inauguration ceremony held in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region that this railway is a key component of the "Middle Corridor" and plays an important role in connecting Europe and Asia. Once fully operational, the railway's annual freight capacity will reach 5 million tons, significantly enhancing regional transit transport capabilities and boosting the competitiveness of the "Middle Corridor."

The railway was first opened in 2017. According to information on the official website of Azerbaijan Railways (ADY), ADY carried out modernization work on approximately 180 kilometers of the railway line located within Georgia in 2024.

The "Middle Corridor," also known as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, originates in China, extends through Kazakhstan and the Caspian Sea to Azerbaijan and Georgia, and can further connect to Turkey and European countries. This corridor can significantly shorten land and sea transport times between China and Europe.
