The Roads Department of Georgia’s Ministry of Infrastructure has issued an update on current conditions across the country’s road network.

According to the Roads Department, due to severe meteorological conditions, specifically blizzard conditions and severely reduced visibility, all traffic has been temporarily suspended on the Gudauri (Post Office)–Kobi section of the international Mtskheta–Stepantsminda–Larsi highway.
On the Tbilisi–Senaki–Leselidze highway, vehicles towing trailers or semi-trailers are prohibited from travelling along the Kareli junction–Boriti junction section.

As regards other routes, special traffic management regimes have been introduced on a number of road sections owing to heavy snowfall and adverse meteorological conditions.
