Which Roads Remain Closed

The Rescue Service reports that there are closed roads in the territory of Armenia. A partial collapse has occurred in the pedestrian section of the bridge near the village of Getapnya in the Ararat region, which has resulted in the suspension of traffic on the bridge.

According to the Road Department, the Vanadzor – Alaverdi – Ayrium – Bagratashen road is closed. Drivers are advised to reroute from the Georgian border using the M-6 to bypass via M-3 Margara-Vanadzor-Tashir-RA border as well as the M-1 Yerevan-Gyumri-RA border interstate road.

The M-4, Yerevan-Sevan-Ijevan-RA border road is passable from Dilijan to Ijevan. However, traffic is one-way in certain sections. The bridge leading to the villages of Khashtarak and Lusahovit is completely closed.
