Preceding station Tbilisi Metro Following station State University Terminus Saburtalo Line Delisi towards Station Square

Initially, the station was supposed to be an intermediate station on the Delisi – State University extension, but due to lack of financing the construction of the latter had been frozen. Because of the delay, only a single track was available at the station[1] until the full extension to State University which opened on 16 October 2017.[2]
