We don’t really have time to consider what we have, if we have any, so we started to act immediately, “the social network reads.

The travelers admitted that they started intensive work tonight:

“Today around 4:15 am, Grinda’s winter service personnel were already plowing throughout the city – all supervised routes were doused with salt and sand and salt mixtures, paying particular attention to the sections where the probability of adverse traffic conditions was higher – forested areas and closer to bodies of water, bridges, viaducts;

Batoras, Ukmergė, Gariūnai, Pergalė, Oz, Žalieji Lakes, Papieriaus, Mileišiškės, Rokantiškių, Kalno streets and Savanorių prospectus.

We want to ask everyone for patience, because with such intense snowfall it is not possible to clean all the 1690 streets that Grinda maintains. We want to let you know that we will clean the streets as a matter of priority. First, the streets will be cleaned with public transport. And only later: service and support. We remind you that in accordance with the updated street maintenance standard, we are committed to cleaning the streets within 6 hours. from the end of the snow.
