In brief

Traffic across the DniproHES dam was halted in both directions on the morning of November 14. Regional authorities directed drivers to three alternative bridges.

Traffic across the DniproHES hydroelectric dam in Zaporizhzhia was fully closed in both directions on the morning of November 14, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing the regional military administration.

Acting regional administration head Mykhailo Semikin advised drivers to use the Arkovyi, Vantovyi and Preobrazhenskyi bridges. He had initially said vehicles would be able to cross from the right bank to the left bank, before announcing a complete closure.

On November 13, regional authorities had warned of possible temporary restrictions on bridges and the dam for safety reasons. They urged drivers to plan alternative routes and avoid traffic build-ups near bridges. RBC-Ukraine's report did not specify the particular reason for the complete closure or when traffic would resume.
