On the transit route to the Upper Lars border checkpoint, a long queue of trucks and cars has accumulated, waiting for the road to open.

The Gudauri-Kobi section of the central Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Lars highway leading to the Russian border is still closed to all types of transport.

Appropriate equipment has already been mobilized to clean the road, but the cleaning work cannot be started due to the danger of avalanches. The Department of Highways is awaiting instructions from the National Environment Agency. Meanwhile, large queues of trucks and cars have accumulated on the highway. Drivers have been unable to cross the border for more than a week. And citizens stuck in Kazbegi are evacuated by cable car.

The Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Lars highway, the so-called Georgian Military Road, is currently the only land road connecting Georgia and Armenia with Russia. And the CCI "Kazbegi" - "Upper Lars" – is the only functioning checkpoint on the land border of Georgia and Russia.

Georgia's land borders, which have been closed to foreigners since March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, are open only to cargo carriers and Georgian citizens returning to their homeland.
