Arkhangelsk residents complain of darkness on the overpass to the District highway

City blogger Mikhail Shishov in social networks wrote about the problems with lighting on the overpass through the railway tracks to the district and M-8 highway in Arkhangelsk.

According to him, the subscriber sent a photo: on one side of the overpass burn bright lanterns, and on the overpass itself is dark – city lamps did not turn on. The woman says the lighting has been dim since last year.

The blogger notes that in the city for several years there is a program to replace sodium lamps with LED. According to official data, the share of modern lamps has increased from 25% to 70%, energy savings reach 80%. Replacement of 500 lamps officials estimate at 3.2 million rubles, saving more than 1 million per year, payback — three years.

- If we are switching to economical and bright LEDs, why is it dark at the main entrances to the city? Why in the morning, when I take my daughter to kindergarten, the lights are already turned off, although it is still dark outside.

He recalled that in 2025, 48 million rubles were allocated for new lighting lines, supports were built in Tsiglomeni, on Lovennik and in Solombal. In 2026, they promised to replace 500 lights in Maymax and at the 14th timber plant. At the same time, on the overpass, through which traffic to the airport and the district, there is no lighting.
