Traffic restrictions have been introduced on several sections of Georgia’s road network due to heavy snowfall, icy surfaces, and difficult weather conditions, the Roads Department has reported.
Because of loose ice, intense snowfall, and poor meteorological conditions, the movement of trailers and semi-trailers has been restricted on multiple routes. These include sections of the Mtskheta–Stepantsminda–Larsi road between Gudauri (Posta) and Kobi; the Koda–Village Algeti and Ayazma–Ninotsminda segments of the Koda–Partskhisi–Manglisi–Tsalka–Ninotsminda route; as well as the Nakerala–Ughletekhil pass, the Sachkhere–Racha road, the Partskhisi–Tetritskaro route, the Marneuli–Tetritskaro–Tsalka corridor, the Ofitara–Mele section of the Kutaisi–Tskaltubo–Tsageri–Lasdili–Lenlekhi road, the Korenishi–Shovi segment of the Kutaisi–Alpana–Mamisoni route, and the Jvari–Ushguli stretch of the Zugdidi–Jvari–Mestia–Lasdili road.
In addition, due to avalanche risks, heavy snowfall, blizzard conditions, and severely limited visibility, all types of motor vehicle traffic have been temporarily suspended on several routes. These include the Nichbisi–Didgori–Didi Toneti road, the Goderdzi–Utkisubani section of the Batumi–Akhaltsikhe highway, the Korsha–Shatili segment, and the Ushguli–Lasdili stretch.
Only off-road vehicles are currently permitted to travel on the Verona–Telavi section of the Vaziani–Gombori–Telavi road, as well as on the km 50–km 103 segment of the Batumi–Akhaltsikhe route.
Roads Department announced that traffic remains unrestricted on all other sections of the country’s road network.
