Several more have joined the already existing 56 snowblowers that have entered the roads of Krasnodar. At the moment, the number of special equipment is 77 units, – the press service of the city administration specified.
The mayor’s office noted that on roads with heavy traffic, snowblowers are accompanied by traffic police crews. Vice-Mayor of Krasnodar Artyom Doronin explained: “Such a measure is needed so that special equipment can perform its work without hindrance in conditions of traffic congestion with cars, low visibility with continuous snowfall.”
On average, according to the deputy head of the regional center, more than 630 tons of sand-salt mixture are used during the day at sub-zero temperatures.
As MK in Kuban wrote earlier, the storm warning in Krasnodar was extended until February 17 inclusive. Mayor of the city Evgeny Pervyshov, in turn, said that with the reserves already involved, there is still not enough equipment for snow removal.
