Pontoon bridges across the Dnieper have begun to be built in Kyiv, the work will last up to four months, said Vladimir Kraidenko, deputy head of the Rada Committee on Transport and Infrastructure.
Traffic on the main bridges across the river in the Ukrainian capital was restricted after attacks by the Russian armed forces. In particular, attacks on them disrupted traffic on the green metro line - it will not be available until the beginning of 2027, Kraidenko clarified.
A day earlier, Rada deputy Dmitry Rezumkov said that Kiev had lost transport links across the Dnieper due to the destruction of the southern and northern bridges.
After the Russian armed forces began attacking bridges in the city, a transport collapse began. The average travel time across the Dnieper increased from 20-30 minutes to 2-2.5 hours. Local residents also complain about long traffic jams.
