- Drivers with trailers or semi-trailers can now cross the Mugudas Khevi bridge (km 51) on the Military Highway without restriction.
- No detour or waiting time is required at this location for such vehicles.
- Travellers heading to Gudauri, Kazbegi or the Larsi border crossing should still check for other active restrictions before departure, especially in winter.
Traffic for trailer and semi-trailer vehicles has been restored at the bridge crossing in Mugudas Khevi, located at km 51 of the Mtskheta–Stepantsminda–Larsi highway, commonly known as the Military Highway.
The route is the main road linking Tbilisi with Gudauri, Kazbegi and the Russian border crossing at Larsi. No end date for the previous restriction or cause was specified in the announcement, but the restriction has now been lifted and all trailer and semi-trailer traffic can proceed normally through this section.
