Rikoti Pass
Mountain pass in Georgia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rikoti Pass (Georgian: რიკოთის უღელტეხილი) (el. 996 metres or 3,268 feet) is a mountain pass in the southern portion of the Likhi Range, a spur of the Greater Caucasus which divides Georgia into its western and eastern parts. The Tbilisi-Kutaisi highway connecting the two major cities of Georgia runs through the pass via a rock-cut tunnel of 1,722 m (5,650 ft) in length, which was constructed in 1982.[1]
