Winter road service crews are on duty in Nizhny Novgorod

Increase in staffing levels at the MU TsODD

The number of road workers in the capital of the Volga region has been increased. More than a thousand people were involved in clearing the city's streets from snow and ice on Monday, October 24th, 2022. This was reported by the press service of the administration of Nizhny Novgorod. According to its data, 56 units of snow-clearing equipment were sent to the city streets, and another 27 were engaged in cleaning sidewalks and pedestrian crossings.

Working in several districts

Currently, the main work is carried out in the Sormovsky, Leninsky, Nizhegorodsky, Prioksky, Sovetsky, Kanavinsky and Moskovsky districts. Road workers are clearing main highways, entrances to social facilities, sidewalks and public transport stops. Parked cars, in some places, interfere with the work of special equipment. Municipal authorities ask residents not to leave vehicles along the roadsides during heavy snowfall and to pay attention to the signs prohibiting parking.

Cleaning roofs

In addition to cleaning streets, road workers are also clearing roofs from snow and ice. This work is especially important before the thaw, otherwise heavy snowdrifts on the roofs can lead to icicles falling and endanger passers-by. Over the past day, 111 cubic meters of snow and ice were removed from the roofs of residential buildings.
