Currently named after David IV of Georgia, it was originally called Mikheil Street in 1851, and Plekhanov Street after the Russian revolutionary Georgi Plekhanov from 1918 to 1988.[2][3] Since 2010, the avenue has seen major rehabilitation works, which includes the renovation of seventy buildings, as well as the road, sidewalks and street lighting.[4]
Agmashenebeli is easily accessible by metro at Marjanishvili Station, which is a single stop away from the city's second historical artery, Rustaveli Avenue.
