An incident in Tashkent has paralyzed traffic on one of the city’s busiest roads. Maintenance services, while conducting repair work, dug a trench along the road, which vehicles were supposed to drive over. However, the trench was so deep that many cars got stuck in it, while others barely managed to pass, scraping their undercarriages and bumpers. This chaos led to a massive traffic jam. Competent specialists could have anticipated such problems and prepared by having special metal sheets on hand, which would have allowed vehicles to safely cross the section. But, as they say, this is Tashkent…
To solve the problem, workers tried to place pieces of iron reinforcement at the bottom of the trench, but this did not help. Cars continued to get stuck, and traffic virtually came to a halt. This situation caused an outcry among drivers and residents who found themselves trapped in this traffic jam.
Blogger Umid Gafurov posted a video from the scene, reacting emotionally to the situation: “Who in their right mind would do something like this? Just tell me. How stupid do you have to be not to foresee the consequences of your actions? Even two simple iron sheets, half a meter wide, would have solved the problem with this trench. Why didn’t they think of that?” he remarked.
The incident once again highlighted the importance of planning and preliminary assessment of consequences when carrying out repair work. Neglecting basic safety measures not only caused inconvenience for drivers but also led to significant traffic delays in the city.
