Kyiv to introduce new bridge traffic rules from November 9

Kyiv will introduce reserve traffic schemes on bridges connecting the left and right banks starting Monday, November 9, to ease congestion and optimize transport flows, according to Interior Minister Ivan Vyhovskyi. The Paton Bridge will see reversible traffic: three of five lanes will head toward the right bank during morning rush hours (07:00-10:00) and toward the left bank in the evening (16:00-20:00). On the Northern Bridge, patrol officers will redirect trucks via the Podilskyi Bridge, while public transport and cars resume normal crossings. On the Southern Bridge, trucks moving from the left to the right bank will be diverted via the Darnytskyi Bridge, with no restrictions for cars or public transport. Detailed traffic schemes will be published soon on the patrol police's official pages.
