Workers from the communes of Andorra la Vella and Escaldes-Engordany began spreading salt on roads and pavements on Wednesday afternoon to prevent slips caused by fresh snowfall.
Snow started falling around midday, accumulating on sidewalks and streets without fully sticking to the ground. This left surfaces highly slippery, prompting the local authorities to deploy snow-clearing machines and teams of workers.
By 3pm, a snowplough that also dispenses salt was operating along Avinguda Carlemany. Shortly afterwards, an Andorra la Vella vehicle was clearing snow and applying salt on Carrer de l'Aigüeta.
The efforts followed snow that began accumulating earlier in the day, with operations mobilised from early afternoon as conditions worsened. No major disruptions were reported, though the treatment aimed to ensure safe passage for residents and vehicles.
