The Georgian Military Highway is closed to all traffic.

All types of vehicles are prohibited from entering the Verkhniy Lars checkpoint due to deteriorating weather conditions in Georgia.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on the morning of January 11, the exit from North Ossetia along the Georgian Military Highway was completely closed due to deteriorating weather conditions in Georgia. Later, the ban on passenger cars was lifted, but the road remains closed to heavy vehicles.

The Georgian Military Highway is closed to all vehicles, the North Ossetian Ministry of Emergency Situations announced on its website.

The ban was imposed "due to worsening weather conditions in Georgia, the impossibility of ensuring safe passage for vehicles, and in accordance with recommendations from the Georgian Border Police," the publication noted.

Telegram users in the "Upper Lars Chat" chat confirmed that cars are being denied access. "Good morning, can you please tell me if cars are allowed?" wrote Yeprem Yepremyan. "No, it's closed," replied Misho.

"Good morning, people. Can you please tell me if Lars is open?" asked Vagharsh Khachatryan. "No," replied a user with a nickname consisting of a period.

"The patrol says they don't have any information either. Maybe they'll open today, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after," shared Artyom.
