Krasnodar battles heavy snowfall with emergency road treatments

Heavy snowfall hit Krasnodar overnight, forcing city crews into action. Roads and bridges were treated to prevent icy hazards, while officials warned drivers to switch to winter tires and take extra care. The unexpected snowfall led to the deployment of special road-clearing vehicles across the city. Over 10 tons of sand-salt mixture were spread on key routes, including the Northern, Yelizavetinsky, Sadovoy, and Officers’ overpasses. The city’s response included treating bridges and overpasses to reduce risks. With winter tires now mandatory, authorities continue to monitor road safety as temperatures drop.
