Bridge traffic restrictions in Kyiv cause transport paralysis on the left bank

Difficult situation at the capital's crossings

The morning of 9 November 2026 in Kyiv was marked by serious logistical difficulties. The main cause was restrictions on movement across the city's bridges. In particular, the Northern Bridge remains closed to vehicle traffic following a recent strike, while a massive queue of cars has formed in front of the Paton Bridge.

Consequences for passengers

As noted by local media resources, the closure of key transport arteries has led to a collapse on the left bank of the Dnipro. Some residents are forced to cross the river on foot, while those attempting to reach the right bank by transport face extreme strain on public transport. Minibuses and buses are overcrowded, making the journey difficult for passengers.
