Vitebsk Ravine's New Staircase: A Shortcut or a Hazard?

Vitebsk Ravine Gets Make-Shift Wooden Staircase: Safety Concerns Raised A new wooden staircase has appeared in a ravine between Pravda and Frunze streets in Vitebsk, Belarus. Local resident and videographer, Vitebsk LIVE, documented the structure, highlighting safety concerns. "In Vitebsk, in the ravine between Pravda and Frunze, they made a wooden staircase," Vitebsk LIVE stated in his video. "Attention! Exercise caution. There are no handrails, and it may be slippery in the rain." The video shows a steep, unrailed wooden staircase descending into a wooded ravine. The lack of safety features is a clear concern. While providing a convenient passage, the structure presents a risk, especially in inclement weather. The video ends with a view of an older, concrete staircase nearby, suggesting alternative, possibly safer, routes. The local council has not yet commented on the new staircase or its safety.
