The municipal services of the capital continue round-the-clock uninterrupted work on snow and ice removal. Since the beginning of the winter period, their forces have removed more than a million cubic meters of snow from the city, the official website of the city akimat reports.
On December 19, more than 2.6 thousand road workers and almost 1,200 units of special equipment left the streets of the city to remove snow and ice from the streets.
During the night from December 18 to December 19, more than 8.4 thousand cubic meters of snow were transported to the snow ranges by 639 heavy cargo flights.
Since the beginning of the winter period, more than 1.1 million cubic meters of snow have been transported from the capital on 92,188 flights.
According to the rules, first of all, areas with very heavy traffic are cleared in the city so that there is no congestion on the roads. Areas with moderate intensity are also being cleared of snow — squares, station areas, sidewalks, access roads to social facilities, etc.
Cleaning on central streets, passenger transport routes, bus stops and sidewalks is a priority.
There are several equipped snow training grounds in the capital. They are equipped with a system for reading the license plates of dump trucks, video surveillance cameras are installed here, and lighting is connected.
We ask residents and guests of the capital to be careful on the roads, observe safety regulations, and refrain from long-distance travel in case of a storm warning.
In case of an emergency, please call 112.
