Kyiv to change traffic on three Dnipro bridges from Nov 9

Kyiv will introduce reserve traffic schemes on three Dnipro River bridges starting Monday, November 9, including reversible lanes on the Paton Bridge and truck restrictions on the Northern and Southern Bridges. The changes, announced by National Police chief Ivan Vyhovskyi, aim to ease congestion and optimize traffic flows due to additional security challenges in the capital. On the Paton Bridge, three of five lanes will head toward the right bank from 7:00 to 10:00 and toward the left bank from 16:00 to 20:00. Trucks on the Northern Bridge will be rerouted via the Podilskyi Bridge, while those on the Southern Bridge will use the Darnytskyi Bridge. Public transport and cars face no restrictions on the Southern Bridge. Police increased patrols on November 8 to manage traffic near the bridges.
