ArmInfo. The Upper Lars checkpoint is closed for trucks, Vahan Hakobyan, customs attache of the Armenian Embassy in Russia, told an ArmInfo correspondent.

"The Cross Pass is closed for trucks in both directions due to heavy  snowfall on the Gudauri-Kobi section of the international highway  Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Larsi," Hakobyan noted.

The road remains open for passenger cars.

The Georgian Military Highway is currently the only land route  connecting Armenia with Russia (via Georgia).
