Kyiv closes streets for weekend seasonal fairs; buses rerouted 22–23 August AI

Kyivpasstrans says several streets across the city will be closed for seasonal markets on Saturday and Sunday, 22–23 August. Closures affect Holosiivskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, Obolonskyi, Desnianskyi and Solomianskyi districts; multiple bus lines and trolleybus 34 will operate on altered routes. If you drive or take surface public transport this weekend, expect detours near the fairs and check the Kyiv Digital app for live bus movement.

Kyivpasstrans has announced temporary transport restrictions for the weekend of 22–23 August because seasonal fairs will be held at several city locations. Organisers will close streets in Holosiivskyi (Holosiivska street), Shevchenkivskyi (Tatarska), Obolonskyi (Iordanska), Desnianskyi (Lyskivska, Aleksandra Ekster, Ihor Yukhnovskyi/former Krasnotkatska) and Solomianskyi (Akademika Shalimova/former Heroiv Sevastopolia).

Public-transport changes include reroutes and altered termini rather than full suspensions. On Saturday, for example, bus No. 2 will run via Vatslava Havela boulevard and Vitaliya Skakuna, bus No. 6 will go from Darnytska square to Miloslavska without entering Lyskivska, and trolleybus No. 34 will run from Sevorna street to Stepan Bandera avenue. Other lines (including 37-D, 39, 44, 110) have adjusted paths; Sunday schedules list changes for bus No. 31 and for routes 110 and 112.

Passengers are asked to plan journeys in advance and may check real-time vehicle movement via the Kyiv Digital app.
