Klychko announces partial restoration of traffic on the Northern Bridge with restrictions

Decision following technical inspection

Partial traffic restoration is underway on the Northern Bridge in Kyiv. This was announced by the city’s mayor, Vitali Klychko. According to him, specialists have completed the technical inspection of the structure. Based on the results of the inspection, a decision was made to allow the resumption of traffic, albeit with the introduction of temporary restrictions.

New traffic scheme

Traffic on the facility will be organised according to the following scheme:

• from the left bank to the right bank — traffic is open on one lane, accessible only to public transport;
• from the right bank to the left bank — traffic is open on two lanes for passenger and light vehicles.

Thus, buses will once again be able to cross the Northern Bridge.

Reversible traffic planned on the Paton Bridge

Klychko also reported that experts are preparing to introduce reversible traffic on the Paton Bridge in the coming days. These measures are aimed at increasing the structure’s capacity.

«Також експерти готують введення реверсивного руху на мосту Патона в найближчі дні, щоб збільшити його пропускну здатність. Подробиці про запуск реверсивного руху та особливості його організації ми повідомимо додатково на офіційних каналах» (Experts are also preparing to introduce reversible traffic on the Paton Bridge in the coming days to increase its capacity.
