On Yamal because of frosts two winter roads are closed

Due to low temperatures of air driving through the winter road "by Labytnangi – Muzhi – Azova – Tags" for all means of transport was closed. We will remind, driving through a route "Nadym-Salekhard" is since yesterday closed.

At present two seasonal roads of district value continue work: the winter road "Aksark – Salemal – Panayevsk – Yar-Sal" passes wheel vehicles with a lump up to 30 tons, caterpillar – to 45 tons; driving through the winter road "Urengoy – Krasnoselkup" is allowed vehicles of the increased passability with a lump up to 25 tons.

On ice and pontoon crossings through the river Nadym the tonnage to 30 tons is established. The crossing through Ob between the cities of Salekhard and Labytnangi still passes cars with a lump up to 25 tons and doesn't pass category "D" vehicles with passengers. Caterpillar transport is allowed on a crossing in a single order for ensuring safe journey.

The head department of Emercom of Russia across the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area appeals to inhabitants of the district to revise the plans for travel for winter roads in the period of cold weather. If the trip doesn't manage to be postponed, and driving through the winter road is open, movement should be carried out in a column on 3-4 cars.

It is necessary to be prepared for a trip: to have a fuel stock, a shovel, a reliable towing cable, valenoks and a thermos with hot drink.

It is necessary to come out to the seasonal highway through winter road check-point, surely having registered the car at the checkpoint officer: information on your vehicle will be brought in a database of uniform dispatching service, and your relatives will be able to learn information on your location on phones 8-902-827-73-81 (round-the-clock) and 8 (34922) 4-03-90 (in working hours). By these phones it is also possible to specify information on an operating mode of winter roads in the district.

In case the drivers who were en route in due time didn't receive information on winter road closing, at check-point they can be warmed and receive first aid if that is required. Also the staff of check-point will prompt to travelers the closest point of heating and gas station.

Besides, we remind guests and inhabitants of the district of phone of uniform service of rescue 112 by which it is possible to ask for the help in service of emergency reaction.
