Sergei Tsekov, a member of the Federation Council from Crimea, said in an interview with socialbites.ca that the number of car inspection points will need to be increased in order to avoid traffic jams for kilometers at the entrance to the Crimean bridge. According to the senator, it will now take about two hours to cross the Crimean bridge, although the workers of the inspection posts work “very busy”.
“This[teftiş – socialbites.ca]It is clear that it is linked to the sabotage carried out on the Crimean bridge last year. I believe that travelers to the Crimea should sympathize with it. According to my internal information, the traffic jam was somewhere in 4-5 km. In general, the journey from the Crimean bridge takes about two hours, although all those who pass through the Crimean bridge work very intensively. So there is no need to blame the workers for anything, they are working to the maximum. We need to bring in new checkpoints. At the same time, you should understand that in terms of opportunities – sites that can be equipped with checkpoints – of course, it is not enough. “These problems will be resolved,” he said.
According to the senator, a large influx of people wishing to enter the Crimea in the summer indicates that the peninsula is safe and comfortable.
“All these fears they are trying to impose on our society, especially the Ukrainian media, bloggers, are not working. People have already understood that the situation in the Crimea is calm, you can relax without worries and confidently. Our prices for vacationers are much more interesting than the same Krasnodar Territory and even Turkey,” Tsekov said.
At the same time, the senator expressed confidence that many Russians would soon choose an alternative land route to the peninsula, not the bridge to the Crimea.
“I am sure that it will not take long and everyone will be convinced of the safety of the land corridor leading to the Crimea. This refers to the subjects of the Russian Federation returning to Russia. These are primarily the Donetsk People’s Republic, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. I believe that many years will pass in the wrong place, the flow of tourists to Crimea will increase along the land borders. At the same time, we hope that with the victory of the NMD, the air destination to the Crimea will also be restored, ”said Tsekov.
On July 1, a five-kilometer traffic jam formed on the Krymsky Bridge from the Krasnodar Territory, the waiting time for inspection exceeds two hours. This was announced by the Minister of Transport of Crimea Nikolay Lukashenko on the Telegram channel. Lukashenka added that to resolve the situation at the inspection point, the number of employees has been increased and control over their work has been strengthened.
Formerly at the Ministry of Transport of the Rostov Region reportedsaid that traffic jams on the M-4 Don highway in the region arose due to the passage of a column of military equipment belonging to the private military company (PMC) Wagner.
