Red Bridge (border)
Red Bridge (Template:Langx; Georgian: Script error: No such module "Lang"., Tsiteli Khidi) is the border crossing between Georgia and Azerbaijan on the Tbilisi to Ganja road.[1] The term translates into English as Red Bridge, and is so named because there is a red-brick bridge arch bridge across the Khrami River in the no-man's land area between the border posts. The bridge's current structure is mostly 17th century, but there has been a bridge on the site since the 12th century crossing. The 'red' bridge had been in day to day use until 1998, when a new and considerably larger bridge was completed as part of the TRACECA (Europe-Caucasus-Asia) project.
Red Bridge Market
Throughout the 1990s there was a large no-man's land market here[2] largely operated by ethnic Azerbaijanis from Georgia's Marneuli area. The market was controversially closed in spring 2006 as part of Georgia's anti-smuggling campaign.
