Omsk
Transport on the Leningradsky Bridge in Omsk will be closed for two consecutive nights, the Transport Ministry announced.
Traffic will be closed on February 28 from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. on March 1, and on March 1 from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. on March 2. Drivers will not be able to access the Lenin Street section at the Suvorov Street interchange. On this occasion, it is planned to dismantle the trolleybus network, clear snow and carry out patching.
The contractor appears to have stepped up its efforts after citizens complained about “invisible” repairs. On February 20, the city found itself in a 10-point traffic jam, with no workers visible at the crossing. Additionally, the remaining lanes for traffic quickly began to become unusable and covered in pits.
Authorities were quick to blame the first and second problems on Omsk residents themselves. Apparently, traffic jams and pits are formed due to the fact that drivers do not choose detours. They decided to radically correct the situation – to completely close the bridge.
