Since the beginning of the winter period, municipal services have removed more than 840 thousand cubic meters of snow from the capital. Snow removal works are carried out around the clock without interruption, the official website of the Mayor's Office of Astana reports.
During the day shift on December 6, more than 2.7 thousand road workers and about 100 units of special equipment left the streets of the city to clean snow and ice.
During the night from December 5 to December 6, 878 cubic meters of snow were transported to snow ranges by 84 flights of heavy trucks.
In total, about 847 thousand cubic meters of snow have been exported from the city by 66,519 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.
In case of an emergency, call 112.
