The official opening of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars (BTK) railway will take place on June 2 at the Akhalkalaki station in Georgia.

The ceremony is expected to be attended by officials from Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey.

Although the BTK railway has been operating in test mode since 2017, its official commissioning is happening now. The total length of the railway is 827 km, with 213 km passing through Georgia.

The Georgian section was financed by a $775 million loan from Azerbaijan, which is planned to be repaid from project revenues.

From May 2023 to May 2024, ADY modernized the BTK line, increasing its annual cargo capacity from 1 million to 5 million tons.
