Due to severe meteorological conditions, this year, cleaning works at Pshaveli-Abano-Omalo road started on April 15. Large rocks were collapsed on km22 and km25 of the mentioned road. Cleaning works at km22 are already completed, while crushing rocks at km25 requires drilling and blasting works. In this regard, mobilization of machinery is currently ongoing on site. Drilling and blasting works will be completed within 3-4 days.

Km18-km72 section of Pshaveli-Abano-Omalo road passes through a difficult rocky terrain. Mountain pass is 2800 meter above the sea; width of the carriageway is over 5 meters, which complicates traffic movement.

Severe climate and terrain conditions make it impossible to conduct cleaning works during wintertime. Accordingly, restrictions are imposed on traffic during winter. Movement during other season is permissible only for off-road vehicles.

Roads Department and contract company will actively continue the work to resume the movement to Tusheti by the end of May.

Pshaveli-Abano-Omalo road is one of the most difficult transport routes in Europe.
