Transport disruptions are planned for the Gagarin Avenue area of Nizhny Novgorod on February 2 due to a basketball match.
Drivers should note the scheduled halt of traffic from 7 AM to 8 PM near house number 29 on Gagarin Avenue. The city authorities have advised motorists to familiarize themselves with alternative routes and follow traffic signage to avoid complications.
Meanwhile, Novokuznetsk is celebrating nature with the environmental event 'Fluffy Neighbors' set to occur on February 1 at Y. A. Gagarin Park. During this event, participants will take part in the official installation of squirrels in their new homes as part of the federal project 'Squirrel Trail'. The schedule for this Saturday includes engaging games and contests, with the highlight being the formal release of the squirrels around 12:50 PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring treats for the squirrels, ensuring their welcome is as warm as possible.
Also making headlines, Kaliningrad experienced a car accident on January 30 involving a Renault and a Citroën near house number 82 on Gagarin Street. The collision occurred at 11:13 PM when the driver of the Renault failed to stop on red, hitting the Citroën. A young girl, aged 21, riding with the Renault driver was taken to the hospital after sustaining injuries.
Development projects are underway too, including the construction of new residential towers near Gagarin Square as part of the 'Southern Streets' redevelopment plan. Initiated back in July 2023, the project aims to transform this industrial zone behind the Gagarin shopping center by providing 137,000 square meters for renovation purposes, supported by 14 billion rubles of investment. The upcoming structures will be visually dominant, overshadowing the existing skyscrapers nearby, as shown in recent architectural renderings.
On another front, Izhvesk officials initiated crackdowns on illegal alcohol sales at 'PAAB Draft Drinks', located at Gagarin Street 49g, following multiple complaints from local residents. An inspection confirmed alcohol was being sold without the proper hospitality services, prompting administrative actions against the establishment.
Lastly, the Nizhny Novgorod traffic halt will also affect transport schedules for February 2, urging residents to plan accordingly.
