Heavy rainfall has fallen in Astana in recent days. Despite the snowfall and lowering air temperature, public utilities continue to operate smoothly around the clock, the official website of the Mayor's Office of the capital reports.
In the night shift from January 7-8, more than 360 road workers and more than 1,200 pieces of special equipment went out to clean the streets of the city from snow.
During the day, almost 37 thousand cubic meters of snow were taken out of the city on 2,763 flights.
Since the beginning of the winter season, 2,499,081 cubic meters of snow have been transported from the capital on 192,051 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.
