# South Bridge in Kyiv under repair: how to get through while three lanes are closed

Starting May 30, Kyiv drivers will face significant changes on one of the city's key arteries — the South Bridge. Due to major repairs on the right-bank viaduct, traffic will be partially restricted for five months. This means that familiar routes will need to be re-evaluated in the coming days.

The repair work is being carried out by the state-owned enterprise "Kyivavtodor" on behalf of the Kyiv City State Administration (KGGA). Specialists will be restoring the asphalt-concrete surface — a task critical for the safety and longevity of the structure. During the works, traffic will be allowed only on the far-left lane. The other three lanes will be closed to vehicles.

### What does this mean for drivers?

Expect traffic jams, especially during peak hours. Plan your trips with extra time. Alternative routes — for example, via the Darnytskyi or Pochaynynskyi bridges — will become more congested. It is recommended to check traffic conditions in advance using navigation apps and choose alternative routes.

### History of restrictions

This is not the first time the South Bridge has been partially closed. Previously, repairs were carried out on the second and third lanes — then traffic was also narrowed, but not to such an extent. Now, access to the bridge will become even more limited, requiring special discipline and patience from drivers.

### Weather may change everything

Important: the duration of the works may be adjusted due to adverse weather conditions. Rain, wind, or extreme heat — all of this can suspend or extend the repairs. Follow official announcements from the KGGA and "Kyivavtodor" — they will promptly inform about any changes.

Road repairs after winter in Ukraine have already been completed — but the South Bridge requires special attention. Its condition directly affects the mobility of hundreds of thousands of people daily. Patience now is the key to future comfort.
