Roads Department of Georgia reported that regular professional monitoring discovered a possible landslide area along the 147th kilometre of the Tbilisi-Senaki-Leselidze highway.

“Traffic movement is prohibited for all motor vehicles at the Rikoti Pass for safety reasons. It will be restored when the cleaning is done, and the specialists issue the safety recommendations.

The land mass fell following the deliberate collapse of the slope’s non-solid mass. Road cleaning operations are in full swing.

Except for trucks and semi-trailers, all traffic can use the Gomi-Sachkhere-Chiatura-Zestafoni routes”, - reads the statement of the Roads Department.
