Heavy rains in the mountains of Dagestan caused rapid mudflows that blocked mountain roads in a number of districts.
According to Dagestanavtodor, heavy rains in three regions of Dagestan caused mudflows that blocked mountain roads.
So, the streams descended on sections of the Khasavyurt-Tlokh highway in the Gubmetovsky district. Now, the movement of vehicles on the road is carried out in accordance to a temporary scheme.
The road Buynaksk - Gimry - Chirkata is blocked in the Untsukulsky district. The movement of vehicles is banned on the 36-49 km section.
The Mamrash-Tashkapur-Arakan bridge road was also blocked in the Lakskiy district due to mudflows. Currently, all blocked sections of roads are being cleared.
