Several roads throughout Georgia closed due to ice, risk of avalanche

Major roads in some regions of Georgia are closed or restricted to certain types of vehicles due to intense snow, ice and risk of avalanche.

On the section of the Tbilisi-Senaki-Leselidze road near the village Igoeti, traffic is under the supervision of the patrol police while snow cleaning work is being carried out at the same time.

20 cars crashed into each other last night  at three different parts of the Igoeti section of the Tbilisi-Senaki-Leselidze road due to the bad weather conditions.

Weather conditions are also deteriorating in the Kakheti region.

“There is a strong wind and ice. The temperature is near -7 degrees Celsius and only cars with special anti-slide chains are allowed on the road from Gombori to Telavi,” Roads Department said last night.

Moreover, the Gudauri-Kobi section of the road is closed to all types of transport.
