"Due to heavy rains, the raised levels of rivers [Tergi and Devdorak] damaged a section of the road connecting Georgia and Russia near the border with Russia. Import and export of goods through the customs border of Georgia, as well as customs control procedures for individuals crossing the state border through the specified customs post, are not carried out," the agency said in a statement.
The agency noted that in order to ensure security, employees and passengers at the Kazbegi customs post have been transferred to a safe zone.
After the improvement of weather conditions and the completion of restoration work, the Kazbegi customs checkpoint will continue to operate as usual, the agency added.
