Road Closures and Freight Delays on the Georgian Military Road

Severe weather conditions have led to a temporary halt for truck traffic on the Georgian Military Road, a route that serves as a key corridor through the North Caucasus. The decision was announced by the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergencies of North Ossetia through its Telegram channel, signaling authorities are prioritizing safety over immediate freight movement as conditions deteriorate. The pause affects freight transport as heavy vehicles are being redirected and held at the edge of the highway while weather teams assess visibility, road surface integrity, and avalanche risk. This pause is a crucial safety measure to prevent accidents and to allow road crews to clear debris or fallen snow as needed in order to restore secure passage when conditions permit.
