Workers started fixing the streets at Palace Square in St. Petersburg. They plan to replace about 8,000 square meters of road surface before the week ends, covering nearly one-fifth of the entire square area. Road teams remove old asphalt and put down fresh layers within hours.
The city repairs Palace Square every year, according to Sergei Petrichenko, who leads the Northern Capital Improvement Committee. He shared videos showing the repair process happening right on the famous square. Road crews try to work fast without bothering people who visit or live nearby. The square mainly serves pedestrians, but still needs these regular fixes.
Heavy trucks drive across Palace Square when setting up for city celebrations and national events. These vehicles cause the road surface to break down over time. Similar repair work happened recently on many other streets, such as Mikhailovskaya Road, Polevaya Sabirovskaya, Ilyushin Street, Dolgoozernaya Street, Akademika Krylova Street, Marshal Novikova Street, and the road to Northern Cemetery.
