Roads Department sets traffic restrictions on several roads due to severe weather
The Roads Department of the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure and its contractor companies continue cleaning roads in emergency mode in all directions and treating them with technical salt, a commonly used anti-icing agent.
Due to heavy snowfalls, avalanche threats, blizzards and poor visibility, traffic restrictions are imposed on several roads.
Movement is banned for all types of vehicles at Gudauri-Kobi section of the Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Larsi road, Jvari-Lasdili section of the Zugdidi-Jvani-Mestia-Lasdili road, Dologani-Khulo section of the Batumi-Akhaltsikhe road, Aiasma-Ninotsminda section of the Koda-Partskhisi-Manglisi-Tsalka-Ninotsminda.
Movement of trailers, semi-trailers and vehicles with over 22 passengers capacity is not permitted at Idumala-Ninotsminda road. Only 4WD motorcars can drive across the Verona-Shuamta section of the Vaziani-Gombori-Telavi road due to blizzards.
