Monday Morning in Omsk: Dozens of Accidents Lead to Severe Traffic Jams

The morning of the new work week in Omsk began for many with sitting in traffic jams on the way to work. According to the service Traffic NGS55.RU, on Monday, January 26, dozens of accidents occurred in the city, and the roads are glowing crimson due to heavy congestion.

The situation is particularly tense now in the city center. Due to accidents in front of Leningradsky Bridge, on Irtyshskaya Embankment, and Karl Marx Avenue, difficulties are observed on all listed streets and parallel roads. Traffic jams are observed on Pushkin Street, Zhukov Street, as well as on all approaches to the center: on Maslennikov Street, Krasnykh Zor Street, Pochtovaya Street, and Dumnaya Street.

The traffic jam on Krasny Put stretches from the bridge near the Telecenter and ends only at the intersection with Kemerovskaya Street. However, Kemerovskaya itself is at a standstill: it is especially difficult to pass on the section from Tukachevsky Embankment to Dobrovolsky Street. Traditionally, Gospitalnaya Street, Herzen Street, and the exit from the metro bridge to Frunze are turning red. Roads on Internationalnaya Street, Lenina Street, and Gagarin Street are relatively free.

On the Left Bank, the situation is complicated by two accidents in front of the metro bridge. A traffic jam has formed on Konev Street, 3rd Yeniseyskaya Street, and 70 Let Oktyabrya Street. Those driving through 2nd Yeniseyskaya Street and 3rd Ostrovskaya Street will also have to wait. Currently, traffic jams in Omsk are rated at 7 points.
