On September 7, 2008, the only bridge crossing the Argun River, connecting northern and southern territories of Chechnya, collapsed.

A federal road administration representative linked the accident to abnormal stress from heavy military vehicles.

The river then flows through the Argun Gorge in mountainous Chechnya, which is mostly treeless near the source and covered with almost continuous forests further downstream.

This area is one of the original settlements of the Chechen people and is characterized by numerous ancient ruins of auls with traditional tower structures.

Upon reaching the plain, the Argun becomes the border between the Grozny and Shali regions of Chechnya until it flows into the Sunzha River.
