During the restriction of traffic on Baratashvili Street, vehicles heading towards Freedom Square will be able to move using the right bank of the Mtkvari River and Kote Abkhazi Street, while movement towards Avlabari will be possible via the dry bridge - Kosta Khetagurovi and the left bank of the Mtkvari River.

During the restriction of Avlabari Square, vehicles moving from Ketevan Dedopli Avenue will continue using Bochorma and Yalbuzi Streets, as well as the left bank of the Mtkvari River.
