Over the past night, the municipal services of the capital took about 7 thousand cubic meters of snow to snow ranges, the official website of the Mayor's Office of Astana reports.
On December 7, almost 2 thousand road workers and more than 1.2 thousand units of special equipment left the streets of the city to clean snow and ice.
During the night from December 6-7, almost 7 thousand cubic meters of snow were transported to the snow ranges by 827 flights of heavy trucks.

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.
