Longest delays are recorded on Voskresensky Avenue and Kyiv bridges
Major traffic jams occurred in Kyiv on the morning of November 11 heading toward the left bank, with waiting times on certain sections reaching nearly an hour. Due to restrictions on river crossings and increased demand, taxi fares across the capital have risen significantly. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine (Олена Чупровська), according to the portal PromPolitInform.
The most severe traffic difficulties are observed on the approaches to the bridges connecting both parts of the city. Specifically, traffic on the North Bridge is currently organized under an adjusted scheme utilizing dedicated lanes for public transport. Patrol police are redirecting freight vehicles to alternative routes via other crossings.
Bridge restrictions and delays
The South Bridge operates under standard regulations for passenger cars and public transport, while trucks are directed to the Darnytsia Bridge. Meanwhile, authorities plan to introduce reversible traffic on the Paton Bridge during peak hours. The project involves redistributing lanes to reduce congestion during peak traffic times.
Situation on major highways
Traffic monitoring platforms record significant delays along key transport arteries. On Voskresensky Avenue, travel time losses reach 55 minutes. Difficult traffic conditions are also reported along the Dnipro Embankment, Valeriy Lobanovsky Avenue, and Velyka Vasylkivska Street.
Carrier tariff rates
The growing pressure on the road network has impacted the cost of rides through ride-hailing services. For example, a trip along the route from Rusanivka to Independence Square shows clear price differences. The Bolt service offers economy options starting from 424 hryvnias, whereas business class costs 670 hryvnias.
Service pricing policies
Similar rates are set by competitors in the market. Within the Uklon system, a standard fare costs at least 461 hryvnias, with premium class prices reaching up to 780 hryvnias. City authorities advise drivers to plan their routes in advance or prefer the underground metro system.
