Georgian roads closed because of heavy snowfall
According to Svobodnaya Gruzia, heavy snowfall has caused many Georgian
roads to be closed.
According to the Roads Department press center, the movement of all
kind of transport is prohibited on the Gudauri-Kobi section of the
Georgian Military Highway.
Snow has already been cleared from the Rikoti Pass, which connects
Western with Eastern Georgia, and vehicles with snow-chains are
permitted to cross the pass; but other main roads in Western Georgia,
including those between Kutaisi and Racha and Zugdidi and Svaneti
are closed, Svobodnaya Gruzia reports.
On the Ninotsminda section of the road to the Georgian-Armenian
border transit with chains is possible, and this is now the case on
the Batumi-Akhaltsikhe highway.
