Heads Up! Road Closures on May 1st in Chelyabinsk's City Center

Get ready for a bumpy ride on May Day, folks! That's right, your favorite union holiday will be causing a headache for drivers in Chelyabinsk, as the city's traffic police have announced a series of road closures.

According to the latest reports from Novyi Den news agency, traffic will be restricted on an impressive ten city streets on May 1st, from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It seems like Labor Day's relay race celebrations will be the culprit for these temporary roadblocks.

Here's a bit of a map to help navigate the blocks:- Lenina Prospekt (from Lesoparkovaya Street to Tsivilinga Street)- Kommuny Street (from Lesoparkovaya Street to Engels Street)- Engels Street (from Sonya Krivaya Street to Truda Street)- Entuziastov Street (from Sonya Krivaya Street to Kommuny Street)- Lesoparkovaya Street (from Sonya Krivaya Street to Kommuny Street)- Terno­polskaya Street (from Sonya Krivaya Street to Lenina Prospekt)- Volodarskogo Street (from Lenina Prospekt to Truda Street)- Sverdlovskiy Prospekt (from Sonya Krivaya Street to Truda Street)- Krasnaya Street (from Sonya Krivaya Street to Truda Street)- Vorovskogo Street (from Revolyutsii Square to Sonya Krivaya Street)

Drivers, keep this in mind: these blocked sections aren't just a laughing matter. Make sure to plan your routes wisely to avoid finding yourself stuck in traffic and late for your plans.

Stay one step ahead of the crowd, fellow motorists! Safe travels on May Day!
