A massive queue forms at the entrance to the Crimean bridge in Krasnodar Territory, stretching several kilometers
Recent reports from the regional operational headquarters on Telegram confirm that a long traffic snarl has taken hold at the approach to the Crimean bridge, with the line of waiting vehicles reaching about nine kilometers. Local authorities have noted that the congestion is centered at the entrance from the Temryuk district, where additional resources are being directed to manage the bottleneck and support stranded motorists.
Motorists planning to travel to Crimea are advised to monitor the current traffic conditions and allow extra time for the required inspections and controls. The situation has prompted officials to issue guidance stressing patience and vigilance while passing through checkpoints along the corridor.
Earlier in July, a multi-kilometer backlog formed at the bridge entrance, with the morning length of the queue reported around five kilometers. Authorities attributed the surge to an uptick in the flow of vehicles and luggage subject to inspection. As a result, divisions within the Ministry of Transport increased the number of inspection posts and expanded shifts to handle the higher volume and ensure smoother processing for travellers heading toward the peninsula.
Public figures from Crimea have weighed in on the matter. In a recent interview on social media, a former Federation Council member stressed the need to further boost the number of checkpoints near the Crimean bridge to improve throughput and reduce delays for travelers and freight alike. The assessment reflects ongoing concerns about border controls and the capacity of the corridor to accommodate spikes in traffic during peak travel periods and seasonal incidents. authorities
