Storm aftermath persists on Sochi beaches: cleanup efforts ongoing
So looks like Sochi's beaches are still getting a good scrub after that storm anddownpour!
Even though swimming is currently off-limits, the team's hopping to it, tidying up the coast with debris, seaweed, and gravel, and giving the embankments a washdown.
According to the city hall press service, cleanup crew members are sweeping storm debris away, including fallen trees, ridding the paths of gravel, and scrubbing the embankments. You might've seen lifeguards, municipal workers, and district admins pitching in too.
The cleanup's no one-man show, with drainage canals in spots like Gortop, Vinogradnaya-Donskaya interchange, and Mamaika getting a good clean. The A-147 highway's seeing fallen trees cleared, and small landslides sorted out.
So if you're curious about the current beach situation or when they'll open back up, hit up the local authority or Sochi city resources for the latest scoop. A cursory search apparently shows no detailed reports on this from reliable sources as of yet.
Wondering about Sochi Park, the popular recreational spot? Water activities are reportedly closed 'cause it ain't the season, not because of storm cleanup. Here's hoping Sochi's beaches brighten up soon!
