Due to heavy snowfall, blizzards, and icy conditions, traffic is disrupted on state roads in Võru and Põlva counties, leading to a special maintenance regime being established.
Intense snowfall, blizzards, and slippery conditions have resulted in significant traffic disruptions on state roads in Võru and Põlva counties in Estonia. The Transport Administration has announced that, starting at 20:00 today, a special maintenance regime will be implemented for state roads in the areas affected. This decision comes as a precaution to ensure safety and manage the adverse weather impact on transport infrastructure.
The Transport Administration's measures are expected to remain until Saturday, February 14, at 16:00, during which time travel conditions may degrade further, especially on side roads that could become impassable. Residents and travelers are advised to exercise caution and stay updated on the current road conditions as the weather continues to impact visibility and road safety.
This localized response highlights the ongoing challenges faced by transportation authorities during severe winter weather events, emphasizing the need for timely interventions to maintain safety standards on public roads. These efforts also reflect the broader implications for regional mobility and logistics during harsh weather conditions in Estonia, a country accustomed to winter challenges but still vulnerable to their impacts.
