Trucks barred from two highways in Ardahan due to blizzard – Latest News from Turkey
The recent snowstorm in Ardahan has caused heavy icing on several highways in the region, making it difficult for vehicles to pass through. Specifically, the Ardahan-Şavşat highway, which connects the city to the Black Sea, and the Damal-Posof-Türkgözü highway, providing access to the Türkgözü Customs Gate, have been significantly affected.
The Sahara and Ilgar Mountain areas along these highways have been closed to truck traffic due to the snow and blizzard conditions. This closure is necessary to ensure the safety of drivers and prevent any accidents on the slippery roads.
In response to this challenging situation, teams are currently working to clear the roads and combat the snow buildup. Their efforts are aimed at reopening the highways as soon as possible and allowing traffic to flow smoothly once again.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution and patience when traveling in snowy conditions, and to stay informed about any road closures or restrictions in the area. By staying safe and following road regulations, we can all work together to overcome the winter weather challenges in Ardahan.
