Road services are carrying out patching in the Novosibirsk region on a total area of ​​930 square meters, of which 374 square meters are in Novosibirsk, said Anatoly Kostylevsky, Minister of Transport and Road Facilities of the region, at an operational meeting on Monday. Governor Andrey Travnikov noted that the work had to be started when the weather was warm in the region.

“930 square meters is nothing, it is a platform of thirty by thirty-one meters for the entire region. I get the feeling – maybe it’s wrong, maybe I don’t go there – but there is a suspicion that they start patching only when the governor reminds of this, ”said Travnikov [quote from Continent. Siberia].

He cited as an example the format of work when road services begin patching in early spring in dry weather.

“I don't see it here. Here one gets the feeling that everyone is waiting for big contracts, federal programs, major repairs. It seems to me that motorists should already shower you with lawsuits for this, and the traffic police with orders and fines, ”added the governor.

Kostylevskiy also noted that in the territory of the Novosibirsk region there are 41 traffic interruptions on dirt roads due to the flood season, most of which are located in the Kuibyshev region. According to the HEAD of the regional Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Viktor Orlov, bus communication with five districts of the region has now been interrupted due to road erosion.
