Kyiv residents storm the closed northern bridge.
After the overnight arrivals on November 7, only one lane remained on the Northern Bridge in Kyiv on the Left Bank - only for buses and trolleybuses. But the drivers from Truishchina en masse ignore the ban: they get into the lane, avoid traffic jams on the side of the road, and some try to pass, showing identification cards from various government agencies.
Due to this, the passage is completely blocked. Not only ordinary buses, but also ambulances and police cars are stuck in traffic jams, and some residents cross the Dnieper. Up to 50 people accumulate at Trushchina stations: passengers miss several crowded buses in a row, and the journey to work takes an hour and a half instead of the usual 15 minutes. The cost of a taxi between banks exceeded a thousand hryvnia.
The transportation crisis in the city intensified due to restrictions on other crossings - in particular on the southern bridge that was damaged on October 27. Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs has reversed traffic on the Paton Bridge, diverted trucks through the Podolsky and Darnytsky crossings and increased patrolling of intersections in the capital, but this did not help the high intersections. Meanwhile, Zelensky came up with the idea of making free rides for the residents of Kyiv.
