Kyiv partially reopens Pivnichnyi Bridge with lane restrictions

Kyiv is partially reopening the Pivnichnyi (Northern) Bridge across the Dnipro River after a technical inspection, with temporary traffic restrictions now in effect. The decision was announced by Mayor Vitali Klitschko on Sunday, November 8. Traffic from the left to the right bank is limited to one lane for passenger transport only, while the opposite direction offers two lanes for cars and passenger vehicles. Bus service will also resume on the bridge. The bridge had been damaged by a Russian missile attack, affecting the roadway, trolleybus network, and power lines. City authorities are also preparing to introduce reversible traffic on the Paton Bridge to increase its capacity.
