Three-day traffic restrictions in central Kyiv for visiting delegations

Three-day traffic restrictions in central Kyiv for visiting delegations AI

Kyiv will impose temporary traffic restrictions in the city centre from 23 to 25 August for security measures tied to visits by foreign delegations, the State Guard reported. Some streets in Pecherskyi, Podilskyi, Solomianskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts will be affected; drivers should plan alternative routes. The closures overlap with ongoing major repairs on Valerii Lobanovskyi Avenue and other scheduled works, so Kyiv commuters should expect heavier disruption than usual.

City authorities and the State Guard have announced temporary limits on road traffic in central Kyiv for three consecutive days — 23–25 August — linked to protective measures during visits by foreign delegations. Restrictions will be implemented across the central part of the city and on specific sections in Pecherskyi, Podilskyi, Solomianskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts. The State Guard asked residents to take these limits into account when planning trips.

Separately, the city continues major repairs on Valerii Lobanovskyi Avenue (work on the even side between Maksym Kryvonos Street and Andrii Holovko Street) and partial restrictions on Verkhovna Rada Boulevard in the Dniprovskyi district are in place until 29 August (works daily from 08:00 to 20:00 between Serhiia Naboka and Budivelnykiv streets). Readers should re-check routes and timings with official sources before travelling.
