Heavy snowfall has been observed in the capital for the second day. Municipal services are carrying out uninterrupted snow removal work around the clock, the official website of the Akimat of Astana reports.
Since the morning of January 21, more than 2,700 road workers and over 1,600 pieces of special equipment have been involved in snow removal operations.
Over the past night from January 20 to January 21, municipal services removed 31 thousand cubic meters of snow from the city on 2,509 flights of heavy trucks.
Since the beginning of the winter season, over 3.5 million cubic meters of snow have been transported to snow ranges on 281,541 flights.
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. Areas with moderate intensity are also being cleared of snow — squares, station areas, sidewalks, access roads to social facilities, etc.
Cleaning on central streets, passenger transport routes, bus stops and sidewalks is a priority.
There are several equipped snow training grounds in the capital. They are equipped with a system for reading the license plates of dump trucks, video surveillance cameras are installed here, and lighting is connected.
We ask residents and guests of the capital to be careful on the roads, observe safety regulations, and refrain from long-distance travel in case of a storm warning.
In case of an emergency, please call 112.
