Flooded Tramway Tracks in Omsk
News Alert: Tram tracks in Omsk's city center are submerged once again. Our reporter at SuperOmsk spotted the flooded tracks on the No. 7 tram route, specifically near the SibNIIISCHoz stop on Prospect of the Queen in the Soviet Administrative District.
Last summer, the No. 7 tram route also experienced inundation. After some heavy downpours in July, the tracks were flooded repeatedly, resulting in the shortening of the route: trams only operated up to Dolgireva Street.
Things got even trickier the previous summer with route No. 9. Due to the infiltration of groundwater, the trams stopped running for several months.
🤔 Fun Fact: Have you ever wondered about the origins of the tramway system? It can be traced back to the 19th century in key European cities like Vienna, Hamburg, and Manchester.
🔍 If you're curious about why Omsk's trams are frequently flooded, it's likely due to inadequate drainage or grading. Solutions might involve installing water barriers near low-lying areas, elevating tracks, or upgrading the city's drainage systems. Regular maintenance and emergency response plans are also crucial to ensuring a smooth-running city. 🌧️🚃
