Ekaterinburg – Shadrinsk – Kurgan highway closed due to ice

On the section of the federal highway R-354 “Yekaterinburg – Shadrinsk – Kurgan” (from the 87th to the 130th km, Beloyarsk and Kamensky districts), traffic for all vehicles is temporarily prohibited. The reason is the strong winter slipperiness: the roadway was not treated with anti-icing materials, which is why the condition of the roadway does not meet the standards of winter maintenance and creates a real threat to safety. This is reported by the press service of the Sverdlovsk region.

The restriction will remain in effect until the violations are eliminated. This process is controlled by the traffic police. Traffic police crews work at the site: they regulate the traffic flow, monitor the situation and help drivers.

Bypass routes are organized:

When driving from the Kurgan: use the local highway "Yekaterinburg - Shadrinsk - Kurgan" (from 126th to 107th km), then drive through Kamensk-Urals on Lenin and Lermontov streets, then go to the federal highway on the 87th km and continue towards Yekaterinburg.

When driving from Yekaterinburg towards Kurgan: at the 87th km, turn from the federal highway to Lermontov Street, then move through Kamensk-Uralsky along Lenin Street, go to the local highway at 107 km, follow it up to 126 km and return to the R-354 highway.

The traffic police strongly recommends, if possible, not to travel in this direction or choose the proposed detours. It is important for drivers to keep a safe speed and not cause congestion. If there is an emergency, call 112.

When the restrictions will be removed, will be reported additionally.

Earlier, MK-Ural wrote that employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate on November 9 revealed icing of the roadway on the Yekaterinburg-Tyumen highway in the Talitsky district. Previously, there were 6 accidents at this site. No casualties.
