Heavy congestion clogs the heart of Chelyabinsk
Got a Gridlock in Downtown Chelyabinsk? Blame the Closed Roads
Happens every day, huh? You're driving through Chelyabinsk, and suddenly you're stuck in a massive traffic jam. Well, it looks like it's happened again, and this time, it's on over a dozen streets. The creme-de-la-creme of all traffic nightmares, if you will.
Wednesday, May 7, around noon, turned into a real headache for drivers in Chelyabinsk, according to a correspondent from RIA "Novy Day." The "Yandex Traffic" service paints a grim picture of the traffic situation, particularly on roads like Lenin Prospect, Sverdlovsk Prospect, Brothers Kashiirinyh Street, Truda Street, Engels Street, Kurchatova Street, Vorooshilova Street, Blyukhera Street, Dovatora Street, and Svobody Street.

Another reminder, folks! Yesterday was just a dress rehearsal for the military parade of the Chelyabinsk garrison, which means some roads were closed from around 11:00. Dear drivers, if you're trying to get through the following sections on those streets, forget about it:
- Lenin Prospect from Svobody Street to Krasny;
- Voroshilova Street from Timiryazeva to Lenin Prospect;
- Timiryazeva Street from El'kin to Tsivil'linga;
- Tsivil'linga Street from Timiryazeva to Karl Marx.
Brace yourselves, because these restrictions could last as long as 18:00.
Chelyabinsk, Victor Yeliseyev
