In Astana, snow removal work is carried out in shifts around the clock due to heavy rainfall, the official website of the capital's akimat reports.
So, on the day of November 15, heavy trucks on 2,195 flights took out more than 28 thousand cubic meters of snow from the capital. Since the beginning of the winter period, over 295 thousand cubic meters of snow have been delivered to snow ranges by more than 23 thousand flights.
About 1,200 units of special equipment and over 280 road workers went out on the night shift to clear the city of snow.
First of all, according to the rules, areas with very heavy traffic are cleared 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.
Cleaning on central streets, passenger transport routes, bus stops and sidewalks is also a priority.
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.
