Last night, from November 21 to 22, about 13 thousand cubic meters of snow were transported to snow ranges by 997 flights of heavy trucks.
In total, about 570 thousand cubic meters of snow have been exported from the city by 44,829 flights since the beginning of the winter period.
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 being removed from snow — squares, forecourts, sidewalks, access roads to social facilities, etc.
The priority is cleaning on central streets, on passenger transport routes, bus stops and sidewalks.

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.
