Astana municipal services continue to carry out snow removal operations in a round-the-clock shift mode, the official website of the capital's akimat reports.
During the day shift on November 25, more than three thousand road workers and more than 1,100 units of special equipment left the streets of the city to clean snow and ice.
During the night of November 24-25, about 10 thousand cubic meters of snow were transported to the snow ranges by more than a thousand flights of heavy trucks.
In total, about 560 thousand cubic meters of snow have been exported from the city by about 50 thousand 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 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.
