Partial traffic restrictions are being introduced on the overpass along Naberezhno-Kreshchatytska Street in the Podilskyi district of Kyiv, near the Havanskyi Bridge. This is reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a post by the press service of the Kyiv City State Administration (KCMA), which in turn relies on data from the municipal enterprise "Kyivavtodormost." According to officials, the restrictions are linked to scheduled repair works on the section and will last until December 31 of this year.
What exactly is being restricted and until when
As clarified by the KCMA, this is not a full closure but a partial restriction on traffic along the overpass on Naberezhno-Kreshchatytska Street. Specialists from the municipal enterprise plan to carry out repair works on the section during this period. The administration specifically emphasized that traffic will not be fully closed, although local disruptions and a redistribution of traffic flows in the area of the Havanskyi Bridge are possible throughout the duration of the works — until the end of the year.
Why this particular section was chosen
The Havanskyi Bridge is a road structure that connects Rybalskyi Island (Naberezhno-Rybalska Road) with Podil (Naberezhno-Kreshchatytska Street). Its name is directly tied to the geography: the bridge is located where the Havanskyi embayment meets the Dnipro River. Historically, it replaced an old cable-stayed bridge that was closed due to its hazardous condition. This is why the area around it is considered one of the key elements of the city's logistics.
What this means for drivers and passengers
Since the overpass along Naberezhno-Kreshchatytska is an important link between Podil, Rybalskyi Island, and the city center, even partial restrictions can significantly affect the redistribution of traffic flows between the capital's districts. Drivers are advised to plan their routes in advance, take into account possible local congestion in the area of the Havanskyi Bridge, and be prepared for changes to the traffic scheme during the repair works. No hour-by-hour schedule is provided in the published statement, so the general timeframe — until December 31 — serves as the reference point.
Context: the repair campaign and the condition of Kyiv's bridges
The restrictions near the Havanskyi Bridge fit into the broader context of repair works carried out by "Kyivavtodor" and "Kyivavtodormost" on the capital's road infrastructure this year. Earlier in Kyiv, changes for drivers and passengers were also introduced taking into account regular air-raid alerts, and experts drew attention to which of the city's bridges are among the most hazardous. Thus, the current works on the overpass are part of a systematic update and restoration of the city's key transport hubs to a compliant condition.
