YEREVAN. – Roads in Armenia are primarily drivable as of Tuesday 9am, informed the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Emergency Situations.

But Vardenyats (Selim) Pass and the Berd-Chambarak motorway are closed for traffic.

Several other highways and intercommunity roads are difficult to pass.   

A section of the Areni-Khachik motorway in Vayots Dzor Province is closed for one-way traffic, and due to the ongoing activities to blast a rock on this section of the highway.

The road crews are scattering salt and sand on and are also cleaning the motorways them to ensure safe travel.

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 are carrying out their services in an enhanced mode.
