"State Construction Company", Ltd. completed the construction of evacuation corridor on the 136^th kilometer of Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Larsi motor road.

The project, the like of which has not been implemented in Georgia up until now, was commissioned by the Roads Department under the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia. Giorgi Seturidze, the head of the above-mentioned department surveyed the structure today. The structure is significant in that, given the tough terrain, during landslides, floods and other natural disasters, the evacuation balcony provides a possibility for people using Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Larsi motor road, or those working at the customs or on ongoing constructions, to safely relocate from the zones affected by a disaster to the evacuation spot. According to the project, on a nearby mountain of Larsi customs post "Kazbegi", on a 7÷12 meter height above the motor road level, 57÷65 pieces of apertures with 1.5 meters of depth were excavated, in which reinforced concrete piers were placed. The piers are interconnected with unifying monolithic reinforced concrete plates each 40 centimeters thick. This construction hosts a 208.4-meter-long and 2.25-meter-wide balcony, which has been covered with a special net to safeguard against loose and falling pebbles and additionally, was fitted with a metal railing. The balcony can be reached from four ladders placed at various places.

The evacuation balcony starts out from the customs territory and extends to the Dariali monastery, where special square has been arranged. This very square affords the possibility to evacuate people using a helicopter.

Construction of the evacuation balcony commenced in June, 2015. Total value of the project comprised ₾1,730,000. There were up to 60 people employed at the site, mostly the members of local populace.
