Summary
| Description |
English: In the 1980s a Bypass around the resort town of Gagra in Georgia's Abkhazia AR was constructed. This bypass for the (then) M27 highway was originally planned as 4 tunnels. The first two (1200 and 800 meters) were completed and function today, but the 3rd was aborted due to the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was cut for 1300m from the south end and 300 m from the north. A fourth tunnel was envisioned as well, but never started. The 3rd tunnel is now a favorite among Urbexers.
During the Abkhazia-Georgian civil war the bridge between the 1st and 2nd tunnel was blown up, effectively disabling the bypass. In 2013 the (short) bridge was rebuild, and both tunnels were rehabilitated and operate today. |
