Landslide blocks key road in Ust-Labinsk after heavy rains
A landslide struck a key road in Ust-Labinsk District on May 19, causing major disruption. The incident occurred after heavy rain triggered the collapse near Ladozhskaya stanitsa. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the aftermath. The landslide happened on the route linking Ladozhskaya and Bratsky, almost completely blocking the road at the exit from Ladozhskaya. Traffic came to a standstill as debris covered the carriageway. Authorities quickly responded by closing the affected section to all vehicles.
Crews from road maintenance and utility services are now clearing the rubble and examining the damage. Drivers have been directed to use an alternative route through Nekrasovskaya stanitsa until the road reopens. Local officials continue to monitor the situation closely. The landslide has forced temporary closures and detours, but no one was harmed. Repairs are underway, though the timeline for reopening remains unclear. Updates will depend on further assessments by the response teams.
