Kyiv to review bridge traffic restrictions during alerts
Kyiv’s Defense Council will review the rules governing traffic across the capital’s bridges during air-raid alerts, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Aug. 31.
Kyiv's Defense Council plans to reassess traffic regulations on the city's bridges during air-raid alerts, Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced on August 31. The council will also seek changes in security protocols from the government to establish separate rules for the city's operation under the current conditions, Klitschko stated.
The Kyiv City State Administration's Department of Transport Infrastructure has indicated plans to introduce temporary bus routes on the surface portions of metro lines and increase vehicle operations between the banks of the Dnipro River during air-raid alerts. Currently, Kyiv Metro halts service on above-ground sections and shuts down open-air stations during air-raid alerts.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a National Security and Defense Council decision on August 31, implementing the NSDC's August 5 decision on the implementation of comprehensive resilience plans for various regions and approving a comprehensive resilience plan for the Kyiv territorial community. The NSDC decision highlighted Mayor Klitschko's "personal responsibility for preparation for and stable passage through the 2026/2027 heating season in Kyiv."
