Transport links to a mountain village in Dagestan have been restored.

Workers cleared the road to the village of Zhazhada in the Tlyaratinsky District, which was blocked after a rockfall. There are no more blocked settlements in Dagestan.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," dozens of road sections in Dagestan were closed after floods, landslides, and, in mountainous areas, after avalanches and snowstorms. By May 4, only one settlement remained without transport links—the village of Zhazhada in the Tlyaratinsky District. The road to this village, which has a population of 294, was blocked after a rockfall.

By the evening of May 4, there were no more blocked settlements in the republic, Dagestanavtodor reported on its website.

"17 sections of the road have been closed with detours in place. Emergency repair work is underway in all directions," the report stated.

As a reminder, floods caused by heavy rains occurred in the North Caucasus in late March and early April and were among the most destructive in recent years. Six people died as a result of flooding in Dagestan.

Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the disaster, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026".

The Caucasian Knot has compiled materials about flooding in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in the spring of 2026 on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
