All four winter roads of regional significance are closed on Monday in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug due to a strong snowstorm, the press service of the governor of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug reports.
Thus, traffic on winter roads is closed for all types of transport on the routes Aksarka - Salemal - Panaevsk - Yar-Sale, Labytnangi - Muzhi - Azov - Tegi, Urengoy-Krasnoselkup and Salekhard-Nadym.
The ice crossing across the Ob, connecting the cities of Salekhard and Labytnangi, is open to traffic for wheeled vehicles weighing up to 20 tons, and for tracked vehicles - up to 30 tons.
The snowstorm also made changes to the work of Salekhard airport. The airport information desk told the Interfax agency that “there is weather for departure, but not yet for arrival.” Thus, one flight from Tyumen to Salekhard was sent to an alternate airfield in Novy Urengoy.
