Kyiv police release traffic diversion scheme for Northern Bridge after shelling

Kyiv police have released a traffic diversion scheme for the Northern Bridge area following its shelling. Cars and trucks are being rerouted via the Podilskyi Bridge crossing. Cars traveling on Romana Shukhevycha Avenue toward the Northern Bridge must turn right near a shopping center and detour in the opposite direction to reach the Podilskyi Bridge. Trucks have a temporary turnaround point near the Desenka River bridge, after which they can also turn right onto the Podilskyi crossing. Patrol officers are on site, and temporary road signs indicate the changes. The bridge was damaged during a massive Russian drone and ballistic missile attack on Kyiv on the night of November 7, which injured five people, including a 14-year-old child. Fires broke out in the Sviatoshynskyi district, and debris hit a private house in Darnytskyi. Traffic across the Northern Bridge is closed in both directions, and emergency power outages were introduced in Kyiv, Kyiv Oblast, and Dnipro on Sunday, November 8.
