Road workers are provided with the necessary materials and technical resources for uninterrupted and safe traffic in winter along all 3,771.23 km of roads under the trust management of Avtodor State Company.
The services are ready for the winter period, which begins in the fall from the moment when the average daily air temperature goes below 0° C. Deicing agents have been procured to protect the roads from snow drifts, to clean the driving surface from snow, to combat winter slipperiness and ice.
