Tbilisi, Georgia, Feb. 9
By Nana Kirtzkhalia - Trend:
The movement of vehicles on the Gudauri-Kobi site of Georgia's central highway Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Lars, which leads to the country's border with Russia, was blocked due to avalanche danger.
Georgia's Roads Department said Feb. 9 that it was prohibited to stop vehicles at 134-135 kilometres of the highway in the Dariali Gorge.
The traffic on this site is under the direct control of the patrol police.
Vehicles can freely move on the remaining sections of the highway.
In the mountainous regions of Georgia there has been intense snowfall, creating an increased risk of avalanche. Weather forecasters have predicted unstable weather throughout Georgia for the next ten days.
