Rikoti Pass

The Rikoti Pass (რიკოთის უღელტეხილი) (el. 996 m) 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 in length, which was constructed in 1982.
