A major and very much needed reconstruction works recently (February 2016) have begun on one of the major Tbilisi streets - David Agmanashebeli avenue. Funded by Tbilisi Development Fund (which is pretty much financed from city budget + private investor capital) promises a completely renovated street by the Autumn 2016.
It was mid February and we decided to explore how construction works were held on this street. Another reason I find these construction works very exciting - a few years ago we lived in this neighborhood on Rome street, back then we could only fantasy that one day city will take care of this city part as well and some day it will look here like in these Postcards from Tbilisi (which is the beginning of the same David Afmanashebeli avenue)
But for now take a look how it looked alike here in mid February.

Renovation works
Old plaster is been removed
Old brick gateway
Inside in the yard behind these gates there is an abandoned and almost ruined Armenian church, it would be just cool if city development fund would renovate that church as well.
