Disaster relief works are continued intensively in Daryal Gorge

First Deputy Minister of Regional Development and Infrastructure Ilia Darchiashvili and Chairman of the Roads Department Giorgi Seturidze visited Daryal Gorge and were informed about ongoing disaster relief works. 

 All the necessary equipment is mobilized in Daryal Gorge.  Works continue actively to return Terek to its natural bed and to start road rehabilitation works.

As a result of heavy rain on June 23, the torrent flowing from the Devdoraki Gorge blocked the river-bed of Terek, consequently Terek River changed its direction and about 800m road section of Mtskheta-Stephantsminda-Larsi highway was swept away by the floodwaters. Due to the natural disaster activation process there was banned the road traffic for any kind of transport in the dangerous zone, on the road section 134km-135km of Mtskheta-Stephantsminda- Larsi highway.
