## Key Points

- Partial traffic restrictions are in effect on Bogdan Khmelnitsky Street in Kiev's Shevchenko district from November 10 to November 30, 2026
- Restrictions were introduced due to the emergency condition of the pavement on a section of about 300 meters
- Repairs will be performed in-house by the Shevchenko district road maintenance directorate using available materials
- The restriction is partial; complete traffic closure is not implemented

Starting November 10, 2026, temporary traffic restrictions come into force in the Shevchenko district of Kiev along one of the central arteries — Bogdan Khmelnitsky Street. This was reported by the press service of the Kiev City State Administration (KCSA), citing data from the municipal corporation 'Kyivavtodor'. Drivers are asked to account for route changes and allow extra travel time for the next three weeks.

### What exactly is being restricted and why

According to the KCSA, the restrictions were introduced due to the emergency condition of the road surface over a stretch of about 300 meters. This is not a complete closure of the roadway, but a partial traffic restriction, meaning the street's capacity is maintained, but with possible delays in the work zones. It is on this section that specialists plan to carry out ongoing minor repairs to restore the operational characteristics of the pavement and prevent further destruction.

### Timeline and contractor

The work is scheduled for the period from November 10 to November 30, 2026. It will be carried out by the Road Maintenance Directorate (DED) for the repair and maintenance of roads and structures in the Shevchenko district. The KCSA emphasizes that the repairs will be carried out 'in-house', making maximum use of materials available to the municipal enterprise. According to administration representatives, this approach helps shorten the work timeline and avoids hiring third-party contractors for a relatively small volume of routine repairs.

### What this means for drivers

Bogdan Khmelnitsky Street is one of the main transport arteries of the Shevchenko district, connecting the central part of the city with western and northwestern directions. The partial restriction on the 300-meter section during peak hours can lead to local traffic jams, especially in the morning and evening hours. Drivers are advised to plan their routes in advance, use alternative roads, and monitor road signs and markings in the work area. As a rule, warning signs, traffic cones, and workers in high-visibility clothing are deployed at the repair site.

### Context: other restrictions in Kiev

The restriction on Bogdan Khmelnitsky Street is not the only change in the capital's road network during this period. Earlier, the KCSA reported temporary traffic restrictions in the area of the Gavan Bridge, valid until the end of the year, as well as changes introduced on the Ring Road. The combination of these measures is related to planned and emergency repairs of Kiev's road infrastructure as part of preparations for the autumn-winter season. Drivers whose routes intersect with multiple sections at the same time should pay special attention to tracking up-to-date information on the official channels of the KCSA and 'Kyivavtodor'.
