News - Snowfall Creates Difficulties on Roads in Sisian Region

On the evening of March 31, 2026, a snowfall was reported on the roads stretching from the 'Zangers' area to Sisian in the Sisian region. This unseasonal weather event has posed significant challenges for motorists navigating these thoroughfares, as road maintenance crews work tirelessly to ensure safe passage. Despite the inclement weather, authorities have confirmed that all interstate and national roads across Armenia remain open to traffic. Road maintenance teams are actively engaged in treating the road surfaces with a mixture of sand and salt to mitigate slippery conditions. However, the Vardenyats Pass is particularly challenging for vehicles with trailers due to the harsh conditions. The public is advised to proceed with caution and consider delaying travel plans if possible. This advisory was released by Noyan Tapan, reflecting the ongoing efforts to manage the unexpected early spring snowfall and maintain accessibility across the region's roadways.
