Due to heavy rains and landslides, the movement of any kind of transport is prohibited on the Transcaucasian highway in both directions.

The Transcaucasian highway (Transkam) runs through the Main Caucasian Ridge and is the only year-round communication route between Russia and South Ossetia.

All types of transport have been stopped on the section of the Transcaucasian highway, reports "Kommersant" today, citing the Ministry of Emergency Situations of North Ossetia.

The agency noted that the ban on the movement of all vehicles has been introduced on the section from the settlement of Buron to the northern portal of the Roki tunnel in both directions, related to bad weather - it is raining on the highway and landslides have begun.

The estimated time for the opening of traffic is 09:00 Moscow time today, July 13.

Let us remind you that, as reported by "Caucasian Knot", in April, due to bad weather, traffic on the Transcaucasian highway was closed for 12 hours.
