Kyiv Closes Two Bridges, Restricts Metro Bridge Traffic After Russian Strike

Following a Russian attack on Kyiv on October 2, the Southern Bridge and Paton Bridge were closed in both directions, and traffic on the Metro Bridge was restricted toward the right bank. This has forced changes to several bus and trolleybus routes. Buses No. 22 and No. 91 were rerouted via the Darnytskyi Bridge, as were buses No. 51, No. 55, No. 115, and No. 118-D. Trolleybuses operate on shortened routes, and bus No. 1-M runs with schedule deviations. The restrictions are temporary. The overnight strike hit the Southern Bridge again, damaged a 25-story residential building in the Darnytskyi district, and broke windows in a non-residential building and cars in the Holosiivskyi district. No casualties or fires were reported.
