Traffic rerouted on Shukhevych Avenue in Kyiv: drivers directed to Podil Bridge

Temporary detour scheme near the Northern Bridge

Temporary changes to traffic organisation have been introduced on Roman Shukhevych Avenue in the capital. Vehicles heading towards the Northern Bridge must now follow a new route via the Podil Bridge crossing.

This information was released by Oleksii Biloshitsky, head of the Patrol Police of Ukraine.

Route for passenger and freight vehicles

According to Oleksii Biloshitsky, drivers of passenger cars moving along the avenue towards the Northern Bridge must turn right. They must then bypass the shopping centre area in the opposite direction to exit onto the Podil Bridge crossing.

A different manoeuvre is provided for freight vehicles. A temporary U-turn has been set up on the avenue near the bridge over the Desnka River. After completing this, trucks also gain access to the Podil Bridge crossing.

Traffic regulation on site

Patrol police officers are on site directly regulating traffic flow to ensure compliance with the new scheme.
