The Roads Department of the Georgian Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure reported that a special movement rule for motor transport at the Rikoti Pass of the Tbilisi-Senaki-Leselidze international significance highway, which was imposed due to land sliding processes, lifts for trucks from today.
Traffic movement will restore for light vehicles from April 13 under the special traffic rules, which implies that light vehicles will be allowed to drive from 7 am to 7 pm, while trailers from 9 pm to 6 am.
Trailers and semi-trailers will be moving in intervals, without interruption and under the strict supervision of the Patrol Police in the reverse movement mode, the Roads Department informs.
Before that, light vehicles are allowed to drive across the Gomi-Sachkhere-Chiatura-Zestaphoni route.
