DniproHES dam in Zaporizhzhia fully closed to traffic in both directions

nv.ua (Ukrainian) —

Traffic across the DniproHES dam in Zaporizhzhia has been completely closed in both directions, with authorities recommending alternative routes via the Arch, Cable-stayed, and Preobrazhensky bridges. Acting regional governor Mykhailo Semikin announced the closure on Saturday, November 14, citing security reasons, and said further notice would be given on when traffic would resume. He had warned of possible temporary bridge and dam closures the previous day. The move follows recent Russian attacks on the city, including a November 13 strike that injured 50 people. President Zelenskyy said Russia is targeting bridges and energy infrastructure to divide Ukraine along the Dnipro River.
