Upper Lars border crossing open for all types of traffic

YEREVAN, June 28. /ARKA/. The Upper Lars checkpoint on the Georgian-Russian border is open for all types of vehicles, Armenian Ministry of Emergency Situations said, citing the Department of Emergency Situations of the Interior Ministry of Georgia. The road was closed for traffic on June 27 afternoon following a rockfall.

The only overland route connecting Armenia and Russia passes through the Upper Lars checkpoint. In summer when the number of trucks transporting fruits, vegetables, and other perishable goods to Russia increases dramatically, huge lines are formed at the border checkpoint.

It is expected that after the reconstruction, which began in March 2021, the capacity of the check point will increase by 6.4 times to handle more than 2.5 thousand vehicles a day. -0-
