Confirm that the major landslide at Dariala on Saturday has shut the road from Tbilisi to Vladikavkaz. I rode up there yesterday yesterday (Sunday) and witnessed trucks / traffic lined up / some turning around and heading back to Tbilisi.
The latest news I have is that the road will not open for about 3 weeks - first is clearing the road / basic repairs and second is ensuring safety from further slides.
This is really major blow to the many bikers / travellers using this route - will keep the forum updated on the status.
