Rockfall blocks traffic on Transcaucasian Highway

Transcaucasian Highway, leading from Russia to South Ossetia, has been closed today, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of North Ossetia reported.

The reason for closing the road was a rockfall, which blocked one of the entrances to the tunnel. Thus, until further notice, automobile traffic in both directions at the section from Buron to the northern portal of the Roksky Tunnel has been banned.
