Major renovations underway at iconic Volgograd landmark

As of today, a major street in downtown Volgograd has been closed to traffic for the next three weeks. The closure is necessary to accommodate renovations to the city's iconic Central Department Store (TSUM).

The TSUM is a historic building that has been a fixture in Volgograd since the early 20th century. The store is undergoing a major renovation that will include updates to its facade, interior, and infrastructure.

The street closure will affect traffic in the area, so drivers are advised to plan alternate routes. The closure is expected to last for three weeks, weather permitting.

Renovations to improve accessibility, energy efficiency

The renovations to the TSUM are designed to improve the store's accessibility, energy efficiency, and overall appearance. The project will include the installation of new elevators and escalators, as well as the replacement of the store's windows and doors.

The renovations are expected to cost approximately 1 billion rubles (US$14 million). The project is being funded by a combination of private and public funds.

TSUM a popular shopping destination for locals, tourists

The TSUM is a popular shopping destination for both locals and tourists. The store offers a wide variety of goods, including clothing, electronics, and food.

The renovations are expected to be completed by the end of the year. Once completed, the TSUM will be a more modern and accessible shopping destination for the people of Volgograd.
