Roadworks persist in Sochi for landslide recovery

The city of Sochi is currently undergoing repairs on a landslide section, specifically on the exit from Egorova Street to Gagarin Street. This project, which has been a long-standing request from residents, is expected to be completed by December and is being funded with approximately 52 million rubles from the city budget.

The repairs are of top priority, as the area is heavily trafficked, with over 30,000 people living in the microdistrict and the proximity to the "Riviera" park. The work plan includes the restoration of the road surface, repair of the existing retaining wall, and construction of a new one.

Mayor Andrey Proshunin announced the repairs on his Telegram channel, emphasizing the importance of opening a convenient and safe route in the city center. Traffic on the section is temporarily restricted during the repairs, and two bus routes have been changed as a result.

Residents have been requesting these repairs for several years, and the project is a welcome development for the community. However, no new information about further changes in the work plan or the allocation of additional funds was provided in this announcement. Additionally, the search results do not provide information about the name of the architect or the firm responsible for the repair of the landslide site closure in Sochi.

Despite these uncertainties, the repair work is underway and is expected to significantly improve the safety and convenience of the area for residents and visitors alike. The city of Sochi continues to prioritize infrastructure projects to ensure the well-being of its citizens and the continued growth of the city.
