Kyiv is experiencing a transport collapse for the second consecutive day. Huge traffic jams have formed on the Northern Bridge, complicating vehicle movement towards Pochayna.
Traffic Conditions on the Northern Bridge
Currently, only one lane is open on the Northern Bridge, leading to a near-total paralysis of vehicle movement. People trying to reach the Right Bank are forced to leave their cars and walk. According to local media, the situation is as follows:
- Only one lane is operational towards Pochayna;
- Vehicles are stuck in traffic, making no progress;
- Passengers are getting out of transport and walking.
Causes of the Traffic Jams
The exact causes of such a massive traffic jam are still unknown, but it is evident that the number of vehicles attempting to cross the Northern Bridge significantly exceeds the capacity of this section. Additionally, there is heavy congestion on the approaches to Kyiv from Chabaniv and Shchaslyve, further complicating the situation.
Reactions from Drivers and Passengers
Drivers and passengers are expressing their frustration over the traffic jams. Many are complaining about having to spend significantly more time on the road than usual. The situation raises concerns as the jams could persist for several days if no measures are taken to alleviate the traffic.
