Only one official ice crossing will be operating in Nizhny Novgorod region during winter 2014-2015. It is located in Pilninsky district and connects Navaty and Shumerlya. Such statement has been officially made by the Deputy Head of Emergency Situations Department in Nizhny Novgorod region Sergey Shegoloev. He said that this winter there will be three traditionally dangerous unofficial crossing bridges. They include crossings between Lyskovo and Makryevo, Vasilsursk and Lysaya Gora, Fokino and Mihaylovskoye. The official expressed his wish to make those three crossings also official. However it needs huge investments considering the fact that ice crossing is a type of road construction which must be equipped with gates and lighting systems. At the same time he paid attention to the fact that special barriers will be installed on unofficial crossings. Moreover traffic policemen will control the situation in this area in order to prevent any violations. Shegolev noted that safe traffic can be provided only when the ice is at least 15 centimeters thick.
