Part of traffic on the Northern Bridge in Kyiv is being restored

In Kyiv, on 8 November, traffic on the Northern Bridge is being partially reopened. Restrictions are being lifted for passenger transport and passenger cars.

According to KV, this is stated in a message from Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

As the mayor noted, scientists conducted a technical inspection of the structure. Based on its results, traffic was allowed to resume with temporary restrictions.

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 service across the Northern Bridge is being restored.

In addition, according to Klitschko, to increase the Paton Bridge’s capacity, they are preparing to introduce reversible traffic on it. When this will happen is currently unknown; according to the mayor, specialists are working on it.

“We will additionally announce the introduction of reversible traffic and the details of its organization on the city government’s official channels,” the mayor wrote.

Recall that in Kyiv, as a result of a massive Russian attack on the night of 7 November, the Northern Bridge was damaged. Because of this, public transport routes that use the structure were temporarily redirected to the Podil bridge crossing.

On 7 November, following a coordination meeting on the consequences of the Russian strike, the president instructed the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), together with the relevant agencies and the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA), to prepare backup traffic schemes for Kyiv.
