Heavy snow leads to traffic restrictions in Georgia’s mountainous regions

Heavy snowfall and ice caused traffic restrictions on roads of international importance in mountainous regions of Georgia on Sunday.

The Roads Department said the traffic movement for trailers and semi-trailers was restricted on the Gudauri-Kobi section of the international Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Larsi highway, with other types of vehicles permitted on the road section.

The movement of vehicles on the Gudauri-Kobi section is permitted only through the avalanche protection tunnels, the National Environmental Agency said.
