Red Bridge in Dagestan Collapses Again After Flood

In Dagestan, the Red Bridge, which crosses the Avarsky Koyus river into the republic's mountainous areas, collapsed again due to a strong flood before repairs could be completed, according to SHOT.

Consensus

The Red Bridge in Dagestan collapsed due to a strong flood.
The flood was caused by heavy rains and water release from a local hydroelectric station.
The bridge was under repair after spring floods and had been undergoing work for several months.
The repair works were planned to be completed by the end of November.
No casualties were reported as a result of the collapse.
Specialists are on site to assess the damage and evaluate the structure.
The possibility of building a temporary crossing is being considered if restoration takes too long.
