In Komi, increased control over the condition of bridges and roads

In the Republic of Komi decided to tighten control over the safety of roads, bridges and overpasses. Special attention will be paid to infrastructure protection, technical condition of facilities and rapid response to suspicious situations. These measures were discussed at an emergency meeting led by the Minister of Transport of the region Nikolai Sokolov.

The reason was the collapse on November 10 of a railway bridge over the Viledi River in the Arkhangelsk region. After the incident, on behalf of the head of Komi Rostislav Goldstein, an extraordinary meeting was held with the participation of road contractors.

Organizations responsible for the construction, repair and maintenance of roads were instructed to check subordinate objects more often. They also need to ensure the serviceability of CCTV cameras, lighting and fences, check the throughput and security regimes on bridges, overpasses and production bases.

In addition, the contractors were obliged to promptly inform the relevant departments and the police about unauthorized people, suspicious objects and any signs of damage to structures.
