Traffic on Kyiv’s Pivnichnyi Bridge partially restored, Klitschko says
Traffic partially resumed on the Pivnichnyi Bridge in Kyiv on November 8.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced the reopening, Censor.NET reports.
Traffic arrangements on the bridge
Researchers carried out a technical inspection of the bridge, the announcement said. Following the inspection, traffic was allowed to resume with temporary restrictions.
Traffic will operate as follows:
- From the left bank to the right bank, one lane will be open to public transport only.
- From the right bank to the left bank, two lanes will be open to public transport and passenger cars.
Bus services across the Pivnichnyi Bridge are therefore resuming.
Traffic on Paton Bridge
Specialists are also working to introduce reversible lanes on Paton Bridge in the coming days to increase its capacity.
The start of reversible traffic and details of how it will operate will be announced separately.
Background
