Snow brings trailer restrictions to Georgia’s Gudauri-Kobi road

On the evening of 8 November, Georgia’s Roads Department announced traffic restrictions on the Gudauri (Posta)-Kobi stretch of the international Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Larsi highway. The department cited snowfall and low temperatures.

The notice applied to vehicles towing trailers and semi-trailers between kilometres 93 and 107. According to the announcement, other vehicle types could continue using that stretch at the time of publication.

The mountain road serves travellers heading to Kazbegi and toward the Larsi border crossing. Winter conditions can change quickly, so an 8 November notice must not be treated as a live indication of whether the route is open now.

Drivers should consult the Roads Department’s latest updates and the local weather forecast before departure. The distinction between a restriction on trailer traffic and a complete road closure matters when planning a journey.

Useful background: the Georgian Military Road, Gudauri and where to stay on the way to Kazbegi.
