Upper Lars closes border passages for vehicles for a month starting from May 5. It will be possible to cross the Russian-Georgian border by car with a long delay through cargo lanes.

Starting tomorrow, the border between Georgia and Russia will be almost completely closed to passenger cars.

It will be difficult to cross the Russian-Georgian border in a passenger car within a month. During this period, the only customs checkpoint "Kazbegi - Upper Lars" will be on maintenance. It is planned to create new passages for passenger cars on Upper Lars within a month, the Georgian Ministry of Finance informs.
