Temporary Traffic Restrictions Imposed in the Sarpi–Poti Direction

Traffic will be temporarily restricted for vehicles with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3,500 kg at km 85 of the Senaki–Poti (Bypass)–Sarpi road of international importance, in the Sarpi–Poti direction.

The restriction has been imposed due to a landslide on the affected section, which has caused part of the reinforced road shoulder to collapse, posing a risk of damage to the carriageway.

During the restriction period, vehicles with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3,500 kg will be diverted to an alternative route.

Vehicles in this category travelling in the Sarpi–Poti direction will be diverted at the Chakvi Interchange, located at km 89, onto the Grigoleti–Shekvetili–Kobuleti–Chakvi–Makhinjauri (Tunnel Bypass) Road. They will then rejoin the Senaki–Poti (Bypass)–Sarpi road of international importance via the Kobuleti Interchange at km 72.

Passenger cars will be permitted to travel without restrictions.

The Roads Department is monitoring the situation on site and planning appropriate measures.
