In Kyiv, traffic on the Northern Bridge is being partially restored: who will be able to drive through

In Kyiv today, 8 November, the North Bridge is partially reopening after a technical assessment of the structure. Passage will be allowed for not all vehicles, and the number of available lanes will depend on the direction of travel. This was reported by Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, according to Glavkom.

According to Klitschko, scientists completed the technical assessment of the bridge. Based on the inspection results, traffic will be restored, but with temporary restrictions.

How the North Bridge will operate

Traffic on the bridge will be organized according to the following scheme:

From the left bank to the right bank — one lane, exclusively for passenger transport.

From the right bank to the left bank — two lanes for passenger transport and passenger cars.

In addition, bus traffic will be restored on the North Bridge.

What will change on the Paton Bridge

Meanwhile, Kyiv specialists are working on the possibility of introducing reversible traffic on the Paton Bridge. Such a decision is planned to be implemented in the coming days to increase the crossing capacity of the crossing.

“We will inform about the introduction of reversible traffic and its organization specifics on additional official city channels,” Klitschko noted.

At the moment, the exact date for the start of reversible traffic on the Paton Bridge has not been announced.
