Traffic temporarily halted on Pshaveli-Abano-Omalo route due to severe weather [Video]

Traffic along the Pshaveli-Abano-Omalo route is currently suspended.

According to Beka Bekuraidze, a representative of the mayor of Akhmeta Municipality in Tusheti, the disruption was caused by adverse weather conditions and heavy rainfall. These elements led to a flooded ravine that damaged the road infrastructure.

Landslide processes occurred between 23 and 25 kilometres from the village of Lechuri, where the contractor’s equipment is now mobilised. However, ongoing bad weather continues to impede repair efforts.
Local authorities emphasise that the resumption of traffic in the Tusheti direction will depend heavily on weather conditions.
