Khabarovsk court forces city to fix crumbling Tselinnaya Street after years of neglect

A court in Khabarovsk has ordered the city administration to repair a badly damaged road after officials failed to act. Tselinnaya Street was found to be in poor condition, with large potholes and missing road markings. The ruling follows a legal challenge by the local transport prosecutor's office.

An inspection revealed serious issues on Tselinnaya Street, including deep potholes and faded or absent road markings. The Khabarovsk Transport Prosecutor's Office raised concerns with the mayor's office but received no meaningful response.

As a result, prosecutors took the city administration to court over its inaction. The court sided with the prosecutor's office and issued a formal order for repairs to begin. The decision marks the end of a prolonged dispute over the road's condition. However, no official timeline for the work has been made public as of early 2026.

The city must now carry out the necessary repairs on Tselinnaya Street. The court's ruling ensures action after earlier warnings went unanswered. Further updates on the project's progress would need to come from local authorities.
