- Travellers heading to Bakuriani ski resort via Borjomi should check road status before departure, as this section is impassable.

Georgia’s Roads Department has closed the Bakuriani–Ghadolari section, between km30 and km60, of the Borjomi–Bakuriani–Akhalkalaki highway due to heavy snowfall. The closure applies to all types of vehicles.
The remaining sections of the Borjomi–Bakuriani–Akhalkalaki road remain open to traffic, according to the announcement issued on 13 November 2026.
No reopening date has been given; the closure will likely remain in effect until snow clearing operations are completed.
What it means for travellers
Visitors travelling to Bakuriani ski resort via this route should expect delays or detours and check the Roads Department’s website for updates before setting out. Those approaching from Borjomi should plan for the closed km30–60 stretch and seek alternative access if urgent travel is needed.
