Under its Sustainable Urban Transport Investment Program and Livable Cities Investment Program, ADB financed the full rehabilitation and modernization of the Bridge Laboratory (Bridge Lab) at the Georgian Technical University.

Bridge Lab is Georgia’s leading learning center for future bridge and tunnel engineers. It’s crucial to the construction of high-quality infrastructure in the country. Since it was founded in the 1950s, the lab had never been renovated until ADB helped upgrade it.

As a result of the modernization, the capacity and quality of the center has been expanded. ADB also supported the capacity building of the center’s employees. The range of services has been broadened from research and examination of bridges and tunnels to all kinds of measuring works. The lab now carries out commercial projects with Georgia’s top developers and students are involved in the process.

The project was implemented by the Municipal Development Fund of Georgia under the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure.
