    Zviad Zakaradze:"Complex reconstruction of the bridge will take start
    on August 26".

    Reconstruction of the bridge close to Casp region, Georgia, blown up on
    August 16 will finish on September 20. Deputy Director of Railway
    Department of Georgia Zviad Zakaradze said in interview with ANS TV. To
    him, complex reconstruction of the bridge will take start on August 26.
    Columns of the bridge will be restored by this time. `But this
    procedure will take long time, as necessary equipment for the
    reconstruction are brought from west of Georgia. The bridge can be put
    into commission by September 20'. Z.Zakaradze also said that there are
    2 versions related with the blast of the bridge in Marneuli: either the
    mine missed the target due to poor quality or it was wrong laid. He
    underlined many of the trains standing in Poti are to head to
    Azerbaijan and Armenia. The trains hold cargo. And trains going to
    Armenia are full of grain.
    The railway bridge with strategical significance close to Casp region,
    Georgia was blown up on August 16. Transportation of oil from central
    to the west of Georgia, as well as from Azerbaijan and Armenia to Black
    Sea ports of the neighbor country was suspended due to the blast in the
    bridge. And Russia-Georgia war also affected on the reconstruction of
    Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway. Project-manager of Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway
    Bicina Bregvadze said reconstruction work is stopped in the raiway more
    than 20 days due to the war. Workers of `Azeryol tikinti' company have
    been temporarily sent to Azerbaijan. This is related with the fact that
    Georgian government did not guarantee them security. Ukrainian company
    continues projecting work in the area Marabda-Jalga, Jalga-Akhalkalaki
    despite the situation in the region. Construction work will resume
    after regulation of the situation in the country. B.Bregvadze also
    emphasized the railway will be put into operation by the time
    stipulated in the project ` 2010-2011. Moreover the meeting of the
    joint commission related with the railway construction project of
    Azerbaijan also was put off due to the situation in Georgia
