Cold air arrives; Gansu fully commits to snow removal and ice breaking to ensure smooth traffic

Affected by a cold air outbreak, Gansu Province has recently encountered extensive snowfall, particularly across 67 counties and districts. In response to this situation, the provincial capital, Lanzhou, quickly initiated its emergency plan, with various departments coordinating to carry out snow removal and ice breaking efforts to ensure traffic flows smoothly. In these snow removal operations, the application of snow removal machinery played a crucial role. The machinery used includes snow plows, snow sweepers with roller brushes, snow removal vehicles, and large-scale deicing spreaders. These devices can efficiently clear snow and prevent road icing, ensuring the safe passage of vehicles. According to reports, as of December 11, the Gansu Provincial Highway Development Center had dispatched a significant number of emergency rescue personnel, dealt with extensive snow-covered sections, and used substantial amounts of anti-skid materials and deicing agents. These figures demonstrate the large-scale commitment and efficient operation of Gansu Province in snow removal work.
