In Kyiv, reserve traffic schemes between the left and right banks will be introduced from 9 November

In Kyiv, from 9 November reserve transport schemes connecting the left and right banks will be introduced. This concerns reversible traffic on the Paton Bridge and travel arrangements on the Northern and Southern bridges.

This, as KV reports, is stated in a message from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.

Specifically, from Monday, 9 November:

Paton Bridge: police will organize reversible traffic, namely—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 bank.

Northern Bridge: on approaches to it, patrol officers will direct heavy vehicles to detour—to pass via the Podil Bridge crossing. Public transport travel 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.

Southern Bridge: heavy vehicles traveling from the left bank to the right will be directed to detour—via the Darnytskyi Bridge. No restrictions will be imposed for passenger cars and public transport.

“Detailed traffic schemes will be published shortly on the patrol police pages. We urge drivers to observe these restrictions and plan routes in advance,” the law enforcement agencies warned.

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.

The president on 7 November, following a briefing on the consequences of the Russian strike, instructed the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), together with the relevant agencies and the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA), to prepare reserve transport schemes in Kyiv.
