Koretsky ordered to accelerate the restoration of the Southern Bridge in Kyiv damaged as a result of Russia's attack

The prime minister called on local authorities to monitor load and, if necessary, duplicate routes.

The Cabinet of Ministers instructed the Ministry for Reconstruction, Infrastructure, and Transport to expedite work on restoring the South Bridge in Kyiv, which was damaged as a result of a missile attack on the night of 27 October.

This was reported by Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky in Telegram.

"There was a strike on the South Bridge and the metro. According to the Air Forces, the enemy used 16 ballistic missiles. In the morning I was already in touch with the city administration. I instructed the Ministry of Infrastructure to accelerate the work so that the bridge is restored as quickly as possible. The government provides the necessary assistance in the restoration. People need free movement from one bank to the other. Other bridges are operating, but their traffic has increased," the prime minister wrote.

He also noted that the green metro line runs from Syrnya to Vydubychi; trains do not run further to Chervonyi Khutor, stations operate as shelters. To relieve the red line, a temporary bus route has already been launched, the number of buses on routes that now go via the Darnytskyi Bridge has been increased. Additional Kyiv City Express departures are also being launched during peak hours starting this evening.

"I appeal to local authorities: monitor the load and, if necessary, add duplicating ground transport to the operating metro stations and to the city rail. People need to get to work and home normally while the bridge is being restored," Koretsky emphasized.

As reported, after the nightly massive Russian attack in Kyiv, the South Bridge was damaged again. It has been blocked.

Both the South Bridge and the infrastructure of the 'red' branch of the metro were already affected by attacks in September and October.
