As the Crimean bridge corridor remains a focal point for cross‑regional traffic, reports from a Taman‑based telegraph channel tracking the bridge’s operational status indicate a substantial queue. As of 11:00 Moscow time, the channel notes that the line at the structure stretches for miles and that waiting times exceed four hours. Interestingly, the congestion appears skewed toward the Crimea side, with no significant bottlenecks reported on the Kerch side at that moment. The message from the source describes the situation starkly: there are 1,400 vehicles in line moving toward the bridge from Taman, and the standby period has surpassed four hours, while traffic flow toward Kerch remains relatively smooth. This snapshot underscores a recurring pattern in peak periods where inbound queues dominate the immediate highway network around the bridge complex and the checkpoint configurations.
