Restrictions on travel along the Georgian Military Highway have been lifted.

The ban on heavy-duty vehicles leaving North Ossetia through the Verkhniy Lars checkpoint has been lifted.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on the evening of March 28, heavy-duty vehicles were banned from traveling along the Georgian Military Highway. The Ministry of Emergency Situations explained the ban by citing the impossibility of ensuring safe passage.

All types of motor vehicles are permitted to travel in both directions on the Vladikavkaz-Lars section starting at 11:20 a.m. Moscow time on March 29, the North Ossetian Ministry of Emergency Situations reported on its website.

The restrictions have been lifted "due to the possibility of ensuring safe passage for vehicles, as well as in accordance with recommendations from the Georgian Border Police," the publication noted.

As a reminder, on February 2, vehicles were also prohibited from leaving North Ossetia through the Verkhniy Lars checkpoint along the Georgian Military Highway. The restrictions were lifted only on February 7.

The Georgian Military Highway is the only highway you can use to travel from Russia to Georgia and Armenia.
