Bus services operating between Moscow and the resort towns of Anapa and Gelendzhik are proceeding on schedule, according to the telegraph channel of the Russian Association of Tour Operators (ATOR). The arrangements were confirmed as part of the ongoing coordination between federal transport authorities and regional operators, ensuring that passenger connections remain stable despite weather and traffic conditions in key corridors.
Uncertainty surrounds the total duration of travel for these services due to traffic restrictions currently in place on the M-4 Don highway. Travelers are advised to monitor official advisories for real-time updates, as stoppages or slowdowns can affect travel times along this major route that links several Southern regions to the capital and neighboring areas.
Earlier disclosures from traffic police indicated that certain restrictions imposed across the Krasnodar Territory had been lifted. This shift follows assessments of road conditions and ongoing maintenance work, with authorities seeking to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as safety permits. Motorists and bus operators alike were cautioned that conditions could change, and that updated guidance would be issued as circumstances evolved.
Law enforcement agencies within the Krasnodar Territory also urged travelers to avoid unnecessary journeys along the M-4 Don highway toward the Rostov region while safety checks and temporary closures remain in effect. The guidance reflects ongoing risk-management efforts to minimize congestion and protect road users during periods of repair or incident-related restrictions.
In Lipetsk Oblast, Governor Igor Artamonov announced that the restrictions previously in place started to be lifted. Officials reported that the damaged road surface had been repaired and traffic could resume more normal patterns. The governor acknowledged that the preceding day presented significant challenges but emphasized that authorities were applying full effort to safeguard residents and visitors when moving around the region.
