The Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure says all the national roads across Moldova are drivable and the sections blocked in the south of the country following last night's blizzard have been unblocked, IPN reports.

At this point, only on M3 (Chisinau-Giurgiulesti) traffic between kilometers 158 and 161 has been restored on just one lane. Snow removal is carried on to restore full traffic. Snow removal is also underway on local roads to de-isolate a number of villages in the districts of Cantemir, Comrat and Stefan-Voda.

According to the Border Police, by 4:50PM, the border crossing at Palanca - Maiaki Udobnoe has been re-opened. Seven other crossings at the border with Ukraine remain closed due to blocked roads on the Ukrainian side. At the border with Romania, all the crossing checkpoints work normally.
