Traffic on a 89 kilometer stretch of the Tavrida highway in Crimea has been restored following temporary disruptions. This update came from the Republic of Crimea’s Minister of Transport, Nikolai Lukashenko, who shared the news via the official channel on Telegram.
In a message addressed to residents and visitors of Crimea, the minister announced that movement on the 89 kilometer section of the Tavrida highway had resumed after restrictions were lifted. The notice reflected a cautious approach aimed at easing travel for those who rely on this route for daily commutes and regional connections.
Earlier in the same region, drivers experienced nuisance due to a period of road traffic limitations in the Feodosia area. At that time, access to the Crimean Bridge had also been temporarily halted. Following these events, Lukashenko posted an updated plan to bypass the Tavrida roadway segment, outlining contingencies to maintain smoother traffic flow while work or assessments were underway.
By the afternoon of March 3, authorities had begun to reintroduce reverse movement along the Tavrida corridor as part of the phased return to normal operations. This measure helped manage queues and reduce delays while engineers and traffic managers monitored conditions on site.
During the night of March 4, the Crimean Bridge faced a second brief pause in vehicle traffic as arrangements were adjusted to ensure safety and continuity of transport. The temporary suspension was coordinated with local teams and nearby routes to minimize disruption for travelers who depend on the bridge for crossing the peninsula.
On March 1, Margarita Simonyan, editor of a prominent media group, released what was described as a transcript involving conversations among German officers. The content in question suggested discussions about Taurus missiles and potential plans to target critical infrastructure in Crimea, including the bridge and storage depots for ammunition. The claim drew significant attention to security and geopolitical considerations surrounding the region, underscoring the sensitivity of information circulating about defense and strategic facilities.
On March 2, officials from the German Ministry of Defense acknowledged that conversations among high ranking German military personnel had been intercepted and that phones were tapped. They stressed that they could not confirm whether the specific transcript had been edited or presented with altered context, leaving room for questions about the reliability and sourcing of the material. The exchange prompted discussions about information verification and the impact of reported rumors on regional stability and public perception.
Observers noted that ongoing commentary from the German Ministry of Defense continued to address issues of interrogation and record accuracy. Commentators and analysts in Crimea and neighboring territories emphasized the importance of corroborating such claims with official statements and careful, fact based reporting to avoid unnecessary escalation or misinterpretation in a tense geopolitical environment.
