The ban on heavy-duty vehicles on the Transkam Highway has been lifted.

Restrictions on heavy-duty vehicle traffic on the Transcaucasian Highway, which were imposed due to unsafe conditions, have been lifted.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," the ban on heavy-duty vehicles on the Transkam was introduced on December 27 at 10:00 a.m. Moscow time. The restriction is due to the "inability to ensure safe passage," the South Ossetian Ministry of Emergency Situations explained.

The Trans-Caucasian Highway (Transkam) runs through the Main Caucasus Range and is the only year-round communication route between Russia and South Ossetia.

Restrictions on travel along the Transkam have been lifted, the South Ossetian Ministry of Emergency Situations announced today on its Telegram channel. "From 1:00 PM [Moscow time] on December 28, heavy-duty vehicles are permitted to travel along the Trans-Caucasian Highway," the publication stated.

As a reminder, a ban on heavy-duty vehicles on the Trans-Caucasian Highway was also imposed on December 13. The South Ossetian Ministry of Emergency Situations explained this as necessary to ensure safe passage. Later the restrictions were lifted.
