Kyiv City Military Administration announces lane closures on three major bridges during air raid alerts, while the Southern Bridge remains fully shut after repeated enemy attacks.
Kyiv City Military Administration announced temporary traffic restrictions on major river crossings during air raid alerts, citing police information. The measures affect key arteries connecting the capital's left and right banks.
On the Darnytskyi Bridge, vehicle movement is limited to a single lane from the right to the left bank. The Metro Bridge and Podilskyi Bridge Crossing are both closed to traffic from the left to the right bank. These restrictions apply only during active air alerts.
The Southern Bridge remains completely closed to both automobile and metro traffic around the clock following several enemy attacks, regardless of alert status. The closure reflects ongoing security concerns after repeated strikes on critical infrastructure.
The restrictions aim to facilitate air defense operations and civilian safety during potential missile or drone threats. City authorities have not specified when the Southern Bridge might reopen, citing the unpredictable security situation. The measures follow a pattern of traffic disruptions after Russian strikes on Kyiv's transport network, including a recent overnight attack that closed a major street and rerouted trolleybus lines.
Commuters are advised to plan alternative routes and monitor official channels for updates. The measures underscore the continued impact of Russian attacks on Kyiv's transportation network nearly three years into the full-scale invasion.
