Kyiv is introducing changes to traffic management on the busiest road sections to avoid a transport collapse. The reason is the closure of several metro stations for repairs.
Changes in traffic management in Kyiv
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko has announced a meeting of the State Commission on Technogenic and Environmental Safety and Emergencies to discuss the situation with the flooding of several Kyiv metro stations.
Due to the closure of the metro, the main burden of transporting citizens will fall on public land transport. Accordingly, there will be more of it, so traffic may become significantly more difficult.
The minister proposed to introduce changes in traffic management on the busiest sections of the capital's roads:
increase the capacity of public transport,
adjust the timing of switching traffic lights,
relocate public transport stops for convenience,
change some road signs,
work of patrols in enhanced mode.
The Patrol Police Department will tell you more about the changes. We will definitely announce all the innovations in detail, which I am convinced will help prevent a transport collapse in the capital.
Closure of metro stations in Kyiv
On 8 December, an emergency occurred in Kyiv in the tunnel on the blue line of the metro between Teremky and Demiivska stations.
Trains are running between Heroiv Dnipra and Lybidska stations. Ground transport routes have been launched.
According to preliminary estimates, the restoration work may take up to 6 months and will be carried out on the surface.
The Prosecutor's Office has already launched an investigation into the negligence in connection with the depressurisation of the tunnel at Demiivska metro station in Kyiv.
