Transport links with all villages in Dagestan have been restored.

Road traffic has been restored to 18 villages in the Charodinsky and Tlyaratinsky districts, where residents were left without transportation. A mudslide hit a section of the road in the Bezhta section.

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. On April 26, 18 villages remained blocked: 16 in the Charodinsky district and two in the Tlyaratinsky district.

In the Charodinsky District, a temporary traffic scheme has been established on a section of the Tsurib-Archib highway, Dagestanavtodor reported late in the evening on April 26 on its Telegram channel.

"Transportation links with 16 settlements in the Charodinsky District have been restored. Road clearing operations to the full width of the roadway will continue with the onset of daylight hours," the publication stated.

According to a publication on the Dagestanavtodor website, by 6:00 PM Moscow time on April 26, there were no longer any villages in the Tlyaratinsky District without transport links; only 16 settlements in the Charodinsky District remained blocked.

The road in the Bezhtinsky section is closed after Mudflow

Later, the agency reported that traffic in the Bezhta section, on the Gunib Highway – Vantlyashevsky Pass highway, was temporarily closed due to a mudflow that had entered the roadway.

"Clearance work will begin with the onset of daylight. […] Transportation to the Bezhta section is provided through the Tsuntinsky District," the statement noted.

As a reminder, by April 24, authorities had received more than 218,000 applications for assistance from affected residents of Dagestan. However, only 5,293 people received payments—about 2.43% of applicants.

Floods caused by torrential rains began in the North Caucasus at the end of March and were among the most devastating in recent years. Six residents of Dagestan, including three minors, died as a result of the flooding. Additionally, on April 13, a 19-year-old volunteer died in the hospital after suffering a severe head injury while helping residents of the Derbent district.

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