Zaporizhzhia DniproHES dam closed: alternate routes across the Dnipro River

Traffic across the DniproHES dam in Zaporizhzhia was fully blocked in both directions on Saturday morning, November 14, with detours organized for crossing between the city's banks. Drivers are directed to use the Arch Bridge on Khortytsia Island, the Cable-Stayed Bridge, and the Preobrazhensky Bridge, where two-way traffic has been arranged. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are banned from the Cable-Stayed Bridge and must use the Preobrazhensky Bridge, while the Cable-Stayed Bridge is fully closed during curfew hours from 00:00 to 05:00. The temporary closure was announced by acting regional governor Mykhailo Semikin, who urged drivers to account for the restriction when planning routes. The move follows a Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia's Dnipro bridges on November 6.
