Partial traffic restoration on the Northern Bridge in Kyiv today

Work is underway to implement reversible traffic on the Paton Bridge in the coming days to increase its capacity.

Partial traffic restoration on the Northern Bridge in Kyiv is taking place today, said the city mayor Vitali Klitschko.

“Scientists conducted a technical inspection of the structure. Based on its results, traffic was allowed to resume with temporary restrictions,” he said.

Traffic will be organized as follows:

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.

Accordingly, bus traffic on the Northern Bridge is being restored.

According to Klitschko, specialists are also working to introduce reversible traffic on the Paton Bridge in the coming days to increase its capacity.

During a nighttime attack on Kyiv on 7 November, the Russians fired six missiles toward the Northern Bridge. According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, four missiles hit the city.

Earlier, the Patrol Police reported that a temporary traffic scheme was introduced on Roman Shukhevych Avenue toward the Northern Bridge in Kyiv. Drivers were directed to detour routes via the Podil bridge crossing.
