Tomorrow in Kyiv, backup transportation routes between the left and right banks will be activated

They are doing this to relieve the bridges and optimize traffic flow.

Starting tomorrow, 9 of November, Kyiv will introduce backup traffic schemes connecting the left and right banks.

As stated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, backup traffic schemes are being introduced to relieve the bridges and optimize traffic flows in connection with additional security challenges.

On the Paton Bridge, police will implement reversible traffic, specifically in the morning hours (07:00-10:00) three of five lanes will operate toward the right bank, in the evening (16:00-20:00) — toward the left.

Approaches to the Northern Bridge will see patrols direct freight traffic around to pass through the Podilsko Bridge crossing. Movement of public transport from the left bank to the right, as well as passenger cars and public transport from the right bank to the left, will be restored.

South Bridge: freight traffic moving from the left bank to the right will be directed to detour via the Darnytsky Bridge. No restrictions are introduced for light vehicles and public transport.

Detailed traffic schemes will be published soon on the pages of the Patrol Police. Law enforcement asks drivers to follow these restrictions and plan routes in advance.

At the same time, law enforcement will inspect the approaches to bridges and the most congested sections of the roads.

“We count on cooperation from the Kyiv city authorities in reorganizing traffic,” the ministry said.

Today in the capital, the number of police units regulating traffic, relieving bridges, and assisting drivers has increased.

During the nighttime attack on Kyiv, on the 7 of November, Russians launched six missiles toward the Northern Bridge. According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, four missiles hit the bridge.

Earlier, the Patrol Police reported that Kyiv had introduced a temporary traffic pattern on Roman Shukhevych Avenue toward the Northern Bridge. Drivers were directed to detour routes through the Podilsko Bridge crossing.
