River flooded Barskoon-Ak-Shiyrak road, blocking traffic movement in Jeti-Oguz district of Issyk-Kul region. Press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations reported.

«The water level in Kara-Say river rose very sharply because of the abundant melting of snow in Jeti-Oguz district. Since May 14, the water began eroding the coasts and bridge supports in Syrt Valley at the 116^th kilometer of Barskoon-Ak-Shiyrak road that complicated the movement of vehicles," the press service said.

On the 84^th, 128^th, 135^th, 158^th kilometers of the road, the drainage pipes did not weaken the flow, and the water began flooding it.
