Ten days without the Georgian Military Road
30 August 2014 - 4:32pm
10 days have passed since the landslide in the Darial Gorge. All this
time, the Caucasus had to live without the Georgian Military Road.
However, over the past few days, thanks to the efforts taken by the
emergency services, the consequences of the disaster have slowly been
eliminated. The movement of vehicles through the Georgian customs
checkpoint Darialy has gradually resumed.
Starting from 12:00 o'clock today the checkpoint is working as usual
and cars are able to freely cross the Georgian-Russian state border.
This checkpoint will work 24 hours per day, the Ministry of Internal
Affairs of Georgia reported today.
Traffic on the Georgian Military Road was interrupted on August 20 by
a massive mudslide in the Darial Gorge caused by the Devdoraksky
glacier's activity.
As Georgian President George Margvelashvili, who visited the disaster
area, stated the next day after the natural disaster, the restoration
of the road will take about two weeks. "The pipeline that supplies
Armenia will soon be restored ... Our Armenian colleagues know exactly
what a priority for us the rehabilitation of the infrastructure is.
Last time we restored this very effective communication with Armenia,"
the head of state said.
