The Georgian route S10 (also known as Gori-Tskhinvali-Gupta-Java-Roki) was one of the major trunk road until Georgian–Ossetian conflict (1989). It runs from Gori through Tskhinvali before reaching the border with Russia (Roki Tunnel, Shida Kartli). The length is 92.5 kilometers (57.5 mi). The highway runs through Karaleti, Ergneti and Java. After crossing the border with Russia, the highway continues to Vladikavkaz. It is part of the Transcaucasian Highway.[1]
