YEREVAN. – Roads in Armenia are primarily drivable as of Wednesday 8:30am, informed the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Emergency Situations.

But the Berd-Chambarak and Goris-Sisian motorways as well as Vardenyats (Selim) Pass are closed for traffic.

Some other motorways and bends are difficult to pass.

In addition, there is black ice on some parts of all highways in Armenia.

The ministry advises drivers to travel on these motorways solely when absolutely necessary and with winter tires on their vehicles.

The ministry’s divisions on duty carry out their services in an enhanced mode.

And according to the information received from the Emergency Situations Department of Georgia, the country’s Stepantsminda-Larsi Highway, which leads to the Armenian border, is open solely for light passenger vehicles with chained wheels.
