Traffic restrictions have been introduced on the Transkam and Georgian Military Highway.
Due to worsening weather, the Transcaucasian Highway is closed to traffic, and a ban on heavy-duty vehicles has been imposed on the Georgian Military Highway.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on the evening of December 28, a ban on heavy-duty vehicles leaving North Ossetia along the Georgian Military Highway was imposed. The restrictions were imposed due to worsening weather in Georgia, and they were lifted on December 29.
On December 27, a ban on heavy-duty vehicles on the Transcaucasian Highway was also imposed. It was cancelled the following day.
The Trans-Caucasian Highway is closed to traffic in both directions, the South Ossetian Ministry of Emergency Situations reported on its Telegram channel.
This decision was made "due to worsening weather conditions and the impossibility of ensuring safe passage," the publication noted.
Heavy-duty vehicles are prohibited from using the Georgian Military Highway due to worsening weather conditions in Georgia and the impossibility of ensuring safe passage, according to a publication on the website of the North Ossetian Ministry of Emergency Situations.
As a reminder, The Trans-Caucasian Highway (Transkav) passes through the Main Caucasus Range and is the only year-round communication route between Russia and South Ossetia.
The Georgian Military Highway is the only highway you can use to travel from Russia to Georgia and Armenia.
