The municipal services of the capital continue to work around the clock in an enhanced uninterrupted mode. Tens of thousands of cubic meters of snow are taken out of the city by their forces every day, the official website of the Astana Akimat reports.
Over 2,600 road workers and more than 1,700 pieces of special equipment are involved in snow removal operations during the day shift on January 9.
Over the past night, from January 8-9, more than 55,000 cubic meters of snow were transported from the capital to snow ranges on 4,068 flights.
Since the beginning of the winter period, 2,638,609 cubic meters of snow have been removed from the city on 205,297 heavy truck flights.
First of all, according to the rules, places with very heavy traffic are cleared to avoid traffic jams. Areas of moderate intensity are also being cleaned – squares, station areas, sidewalks, access roads to social facilities, etc.
The cleaning of central streets, passenger transport routes, bus stops and sidewalks is also a priority.
There are several equipped snow training grounds in the city. They are equipped with a system for reading vehicle license plates, video surveillance cameras and lighting.
We ask residents and guests of the capital to be careful on the roads, observe safety regulations, and do not travel long distances if there is a storm warning.
In case of an emergency, please call 112.
