The city administration had closed this stretch of road (from Promyshlennaya Street to Avtoremontnaya Street) until February 27 for repairs, but the restoration work took much less time — from the evening of February 3, traffic can travel there without restrictions or concerns.

Recall that a criminal case was opened after the ground collapse. It is being monitored by the prosecutor of Orenburg Region, Ruslan Medvedev, and the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin. The aftermath of the emergency is being followed by Orenburg Mayor Albert Yumadilov and Governor Yevgeny Solntsev.
