Kyiv to change traffic on three bridges from November 9

Starting Monday, November 9, Kyiv will implement reserve traffic schemes on three bridges due to additional security challenges, including reverse traffic on the Paton Bridge and truck restrictions on the Northern and Southern Bridges. On the Paton Bridge, three of five lanes will operate toward the right bank from 7:00 to 10:00 and toward the left bank from 16:00 to 20:00. Trucks will be rerouted via the Podilskyi Bridge on the Northern Bridge and via the Darnytskyi Bridge on the Southern Bridge, with no restrictions for cars and public transport. Police increased patrols on November 8 to regulate traffic and inspect bridge approaches. These measures follow four ballistic missile strikes on the Northern Bridge overnight Saturday, prompting preparation of alternative transport routes for the capital.
