The road leading to the Upper Lars checkpoint has been opened
The road leading to the Upper Lars checkpoint has been opened for trucks. The information was reported by the Roads Department of Georgia.
According to the agency’s statement, traffic for trailer and semi-trailer vehicles has been restored on the Gudauri-Kobi section of the Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Lars international highway.
The road had been closed since February 13 due to snow and ice.
Traffic through the Jvari (Cross) Pass is carried out through avalanche protection tunnels in a reversible mode; therefore, there is a high probability of traffic jams in that area.
As a reminder, the Upper Lars road is the only land route connecting Armenia with Russia through the territory of Georgia.
