Goryachy Klych highway experiences a reversal in traffic flow
The M-4 Don highway, a major roadway in southern Russia, has been affected by a landslide near Djubga, according to emergency services reports. The landslide occurred at the 1414 km mark, heading towards Djubga, and has temporarily halted traffic on the highway.
Heavy rainfall in the Krasnodar region, which has been hit by floods, tornadoes, and severe thunderstorms since early August 2025, is believed to be the cause of the landslide. The region, including the Tuapse District close to the M-4 highway, has experienced devastating floods and storms around August 3, 2025, impacting infrastructure such as roads and highways.
In response to the landslide, GK "Avtodor" – a company responsible for managing the clearing of landslide-affected roads – has dispatched equipment to clear the roadway on the M-4 Don highway near Djubga. The clearing process is being overseen by the press service of GK "Avtodor", which is also providing updates on the progress of the clearance operations.
Emergency services are managing the situation on the M-4 Don highway due to the landslide near Djubga. To manage traffic flow, contraflow traffic has been implemented in the direction of Krasnodar on the M-4 Don highway.
As of the time of writing, no precise official update on the highway's clearance or operational status is available. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, checking Russian regional transport or emergency services official announcements or local news sources is recommended.
