The Sofia Municipality will not pay the company that carried out the snow removal in the "Vitosha" Nature Park on December 26, 2024. The reason is the poor quality of the work done, the municipality's press center announced.
The Mayor of Sofia Vasil Terziev announced on Facebook that changes have been made in the way the roads to the mountain are cleaned. "We will initiate meetings with various state institutions regarding the cleaning of the road infrastructure to the Vitosha Nature Park," he wrote on December 29.
Currently, public transport in the capital is running everywhere in winter conditions, the press center of the Sofia Municipality specifies. During the night, anti-icing mixtures were applied in the areas of "Vrabnitsa", "Studentski", "Vitosha", "Ovcha Kupel", "Lyulin", "Kremikovtsi" and "Pancharevo".
109 snow removal machines are working on the ground. They are treating streets and boulevards where public transport operates. Mixtures were also spread on the Southern Arc of the Ring Road, as well as on municipal roads.
In the "Vitosha" Nature Park, sanding was carried out on the two main roads - from the "Dragalevtsi" neighborhood to the "Aleko" hut and from the "Boyana" neighborhood to the Zlatnite Mostove area. The activities are supervised by the Sofia Inspectorate.
The teams of "Emergency Assistance and Prevention" carry out constant field patrols. The municipality urges drivers to use vehicles with appropriate winter equipment.
