      Work on creating a stormwater drainage network scheme in Nizhny Novgorod has been suspended. The cause was a breach of the terms of the municipal contract by the contractor. This was reported to NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" by the city's Department of Urban Improvement.

      Recall that more than 167 million rubles were allocated for the development of the stormwater drainage network scheme in Nizhny Novgorod for 2026–2036. It was planned that it would be approved by the end of the year. However, in June the contract with the competition winner was terminated due to non-fulfillment of obligations.

      As explained by the administration, after the merger of Nizhny Novgorod with Kstovo and the formation of a single municipal district, specialists began preparing documentation to conclude a new contract for the development of the stormwater drainage network scheme, as well as to create a tariff mechanism for financing the costs of using and developing stormwater drainage systems in the Nagornaya and Zarechnaya parts of Nizhny Novgorod.

      After the necessary information has been collected, a technical specification will be prepared and the cost and timeline for the work will be determined. New start dates for the design have not yet been set.

      It was previously reported that the stormwater drainage project in the Gordeevsky microdistrict again failed the state examination.
