Since the beginning of the winter period, the municipal services of the capital have been working in an enhanced round-the-clock mode. Tens of thousands of cubic meters of snow are exported to snow ranges every day, the official website of the city akimat reports.
On the night of November 19-20, more than 800 units of special equipment and about 300 road workers went out to clean the streets from snow and ice.
Over the past day shift on November 19, utility workers took more than 21 thousand cubic meters of snow out of the city on 1,673 flights.
Since the beginning of the winter period, over 484 thousand cubic meters of snow have been removed from the city, which is the volume of almost 38 thousand heavy trucks.
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. Also, areas with medium intensity are removed from snow — squares, station areas, sidewalks, access roads to social facilities, etc.
The priority is cleaning on central streets, on passenger transport routes, bus stops and sidewalks.
There are several equipped snow ranges in the capital. They are equipped with a system for reading license plates of dump trucks, video surveillance cameras are installed here, lighting is connected.
We ask residents and guests of the capital to be careful on the roads, observe safety rules, and refrain from long-distance trips in case of a storm warning.
In case of an emergency, call 112.
