700+ Moscow Pedestrian Crossings to Be Cleaned Before City Day

More than 700 underground and above-ground crossings will be cleaned in Moscow ahead of the City Day.

Consensus

More than 700 underground and glazed overhead pedestrian crossings in Moscow will be cleaned before City Day.
The cleaning will take place in preparation for the City Day celebration on September 5–6.
The works will not fully close the pedestrian crossings; access for pedestrians will be maintained.
Specialized equipment, including high-pressure apparatus and brushes, will be used for cleaning.
Underground crossings will be cleaned manually, followed by high-pressure washing of walls, granite railings, and staircases.
Overhead crossings will be cleaned using aerial work platforms, with cleaning agents applied to glass surfaces and then rinsed with high-pressure water.
Some elements of the crossings may be repaired or repainted if needed.
The cleaning is part of broader urban sanitation efforts involving over 2,000 objects across Moscow.

The head of the Moscow Complex of Urban Services emphasized that the cleaning includes bridges, tunnels, quays, docks, fountains, and monuments in addition to pedestrian crossings. — vm
