Traffic on the Transkam has resumed

The ban on vehicle traffic on the Transcaucasian Highway has been lifted after the roadway has been cleared.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," the Transcaucasian Highway was closed to traffic in both directions. This decision was made "due to worsening weather conditions and the impossibility of ensuring safe passage," explained the South Ossetian Ministry of Emergency Situations.

The Transcaucasian Highway (Transkam) passes through the Main Caucasus Range and is the only year-round communication route between Russia and South Ossetia.

The ban on traffic on the Transkam has been lifted, the South Ossetian Ministry of Emergency Situations reported on its Telegram channel. "As of 12:00 [Moscow time] on December 30, the Transcaucasian Highway is open to all types of vehicles in both directions," the publication stated.

The restriction has been lifted "due to clearing the roadway on the Transcaucasian Highway and ensuring the safe passage of vehicles," the North Ossetian Ministry of Emergency Situations explained on its website.
