Ice crossing in Yakutsk projected for closure in coming days according to the local Transport Ministry
In the Republic of Yakutia, a significant change is approaching for those navigating the winter roads and ice crossings in the central and Arctic regions. Here's a breakdown of the upcoming changes:
- Traffic on winter roads in the central regions will be prohibited for all types of vehicles from April 15.
- Simultaneously, ice crossings in the central regions will also close on the same date.
- From April 10, the carrying capacity on these crossings in the Republic of Yakutia will be reduced to 20 tons.
- This reduction in carrying capacity will be a phased process, with the Arctic and northern regions seeing a gradual decrease before their closure, scheduled for April 20-25.
- The carrying capacity on ice crossings in the Arctic and northern regions will be reduced to 20 tons before they are closed.
The exact dates for these closures and reductions may be subject to adjustments based on the actual condition of the ice cover and weather conditions.
It's important to note that the carrying capacity on VKontakte, Classmates, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Twitter platforms for the Republic of Yakutia has not been mentioned as of the current date. However, the operation of ice crossings can potentially affect these platforms.
Snow clearing, snow compaction, and other maintenance work are currently being conducted on winter roads in the republic to ensure safety and efficiency.
The Ministry of Transport of Yakutia strongly recommends not exceeding the permitted carrying capacity and strictly adhering to the requirements of the installed road signs. They also encourage everyone to stay informed about the operation of ice crossings through the ministry's official information platforms.
As the season changes, it's crucial for everyone to stay aware and adapt to these changes to ensure a safe and smooth journey in the Republic of Yakutia.
