ArmInfo. A 700-space parking lot for heavy-duty vehicles will be built at the approach to  the checkpoint at the Verkhniy Lars checkpoint. This was reported in his telegram channel by the head of North Ossetia - Alania Sergey Menyailo. 

He noted that the project was discussed during a working meeting in Moscow with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev. "We discussed the development of the region's transport industry. But one of the main topics now is the expansion of the infrastructure of the Upper Lars checkpoint. In the context of the projected growth in cargo traffic, a 700-space parking lot for heavy-duty vehicles will  be built at the approach to the checkpoint. 

Vitaly Gennadyevich emphasized that North Ossetia is an important transport hub of the North Caucasus: the regional transport system combines rail, road and air transport flows. It should be noted that  the Upper Lars checkpoint is the only land route connecting Armenia through Georgia with the Russian Federation.
