The Roads Department has issued a statement saying that risks of avalanches have resulted in traffic restrictions on Georgia's some road sections.

"All modes of transport have been banned from the Gudauri (Posta)-Kobi section of the Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Lars highway (the border of the Russian Federation), which is of international significance due to high risks of avalanches. 

On the Mleta-Gudauri (Posta)-Kobi, Gudauri (Posta)-Kobi, and the Stepantsminda-Lars section, traffic flow will be possible in a non-stop mode. 

The movement will be carried out under the direct supervision and coordination of the patrol police," the Roads Department says.
