Kyiv has introduced a temporary traffic scheme for cars and lorries on Roman Shukhevych Avenue. Travel over the Northern Bridge from the left bank to the right bank is permitted exclusively for public transport.
This was reported by the Patrol Police of Ukraine.
Cars travelling along Roman Shukhevych Avenue towards the Northern Bridge must make a U-turn at a specially organised section near the intersection with Honore de Balzac Street.
A temporary U-turn has been arranged for lorries on Roman Shukhevych Avenue near the bridge over the Desenka River. After that, drivers must proceed in the opposite direction and may turn right onto the Podilskyi Bridge crossing.
Only public transport is allowed to travel over the Northern Bridge from the left bank to the right bank. In the opposite direction, cars and public transport may travel.
Access to the "Muromets" Park and shopping centres is possible only from the right bank.
- On the night of 7 November, the Russians attacked the Northern Bridge in Kyiv with ballistic missiles. The bridge’s road surface, trolleybus overhead contact network, and a power line were damaged. In addition, the blast wave wrecked five lorries in a nearby car park.
- After the Russian strike, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Kyiv City State Administration to prepare contingency transport routes.
