The checkpoint is periodically closed - in winter due to avalanches, and in spring due to mudflows. Then Armenian Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan spoke about the need to establish an alternative road to Upper Lars at a government meeting on January 26. As an alternative one, requiring a political decision by the countries of the region, can serve roads linking Georgia and Russia through the conflict zones - South Ossetia and Abkhazia
