On Tuesday, January 10, authorities announced a temporary suspension of the roadway on the Crimean Bridge to accommodate maintenance and restoration work. The information came through the ministry channel responsible for transport updates, signaling an important disruption for travelers on that day.
According to the notice, road restrictions would begin at 03:00 local time, with the road segment closed to through traffic from 04:00 to 16:00, Moscow time. The plan outlines a precise window for the closure, though specific details about the scope and nature of the repairs were not released at that moment.
Officials emphasized that the schedule and procedures may be adjusted as work progresses. Motorists planning to use the bridge were urged to monitor official updates and adjust their travel plans accordingly to minimize delays and disruptions.
Earlier in late 2022, the ministry reported an increase in the number of checkpoints along the approaches to the Crimean Bridge. The change reflected efforts to manage the higher traffic volumes and greater luggage loads observed during peak periods, as well as to streamline inspection processes for safety purposes.
In related developments, the Emergency Ministry had previously announced a resumption of ferry services linking Crimea with the Krasnodar region, illustrating ongoing efforts to maintain transportation continuity in the area despite the road closure.”
