Traffic on Zelensky Avenue will be partially closed on the night of March 28.

      March 27, 2026 17:47 Society The movement on the Zeleny Congress in Nizhny Novgorod will be partially closed on the night of March 28, reported Deputy Mayor Rodion Uchaev. Today, a landslide occurred at the Zeleny Congress. As of now, the cleanup of the area where the ground slipped is almost complete. About ten pieces of equipment are working there. Specialists are inspecting neighboring sections of the slope for possible ground slips. "We all saw how snowy the winter was. The ground did not have time to freeze, and there was abundant saturation of the soil with moisture. As a result, we assume that a ground slip occurred," Uchaev noted. To prevent emergency situations, road equipment will be working at the scene tonight. Traffic will be partially closed. The press service of the Nizhny Novgorod city administration added that the commission of the engineering protection department and the emergency management department has been regularly inspecting the city's slopes and areas prone to flooding since mid-March. The edges of the slopes and fast-flowing areas are being cleared of snow to prevent ground slips. "Thanks to the measures taken, we managed to avoid more serious consequences," they said. It was previously reported that buses had to temporarily change their routes due to the incident at the congress. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has a Telegram channel.
