What the Situation is Like Near the Crimean Bridge

"People are forced to stand for 4-5 hours," reports a local resident, detailing that traffic jams near the Crimean Bridge stretch several kilometers. "The passage is only operational for trucks, and traffic over the bridge is organized in one lane," Dmitry, a local resident, told Podem.

According to him, shops are open, and there is no chaos. Everything is calm at the gas stations as well. "The biggest problem is entering the bridge. People have to wait 4-5 hours because the passage is only working for trucks. Hundreds of vehicles are lined up for several kilometers. Some have been in line since 4 a.m. and still haven't reached the inspection point. The situation is the same from the Krasnodar side," he noted.

Social media also reports that the road from Temyuk to Crimea takes 12 hours.
