The capital’s transport department has urged residents and visitors to use the metro for travel around the city on Monday. The Road Traffic Management Center reported that weather forecasters predict heavy rainfall will continue until the end of the day.

“Today, the metro is faster,” stated the Transport Department’s announcement.

According to the Road Traffic Management Center, as of 10:00 Moscow time, the traffic situation was rated at 5 points. Due to weather conditions, traffic was temporarily blocked on Shelepikhinskaya Embankment near Building 2A, Block 3. Traffic has already been restored near Building 32, Block 6 on Shmitovsky Proezd.

“In the afternoon, we expect localized traffic disruptions in the central part of the city,” noted the Transport Department, “as well as on outbound highways heading toward the region.” Moscow authorities warned of possible disruptions to ground transportation in certain areas.

Shelepikhinskaya Embankment

Shelepikhinskaya Embankment is a scenic riverside promenade along the Moscow River, located in the western part of Moscow, Russia. Historically an industrial area, it has been redeveloped in recent years into a modern residential and recreational zone, featuring parks, walking paths, and views of the city skyline. The embankment takes its name from the nearby Shelepikha district, which was once a village before being incorporated into Moscow’s expanding urban landscape.

Shmitovsky Proezd

Shmitovsky Proezd is a street located in Moscow, Russia, named in honor of the Shmit family, who were notable figures in Russian history. The area is primarily residential and commercial, reflecting Moscow’s urban development in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While not a major tourist site, it serves as part of the city’s historical and architectural fabric.
