The construction of an overpass at the intersection of Bohatyrska and Polyarna streets in Kyiv is scheduled to be completed in September and traffic will be opened in May, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
“Work on the construction of an overpass at the intersection of Bohatyrska and Polyarna streets continues around the clock, seven days a week,” Klitschko wrote in his telegram channel.
Klitschko noted that it is planned to open traffic by May.
And it is planned to complete all the work on the site and fully open the traffic with exits by September this year, the mayor said.
On Friday, December 1, special vehicles, emergency vehicles and bus service for passengers from the left bank to the right bank of the Podilsko-Voskresenskyi Bridge crossing were opened in Kyiv to ensure life support during martial law, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
“At the first stage, bus route No. 111 will operate here in the direction of the metro station “Square of Ukrainian Heroes” – metro station “Livoberezhna,” Klitschko wrote in his telegram channel.
He emphasized that the Podilsko-Voskresenskyi bridge crossing is the largest of the transport infrastructure facilities in Kyiv and Ukraine: its length is more than 10 km.
“A few years ago, we planned and promised to ensure passenger traffic as the first stage of the facility’s launch. And today, it has finally happened! To all the skeptics and those who tried to block the work at the facility, I will say one thing: now look for other reasons for your manipulations,” the mayor added.
Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko and Hamburg Mayor Peter Chencher at a meeting in the Ukrainian capital discussed further assistance to Kiev, in particular the issue of providing autonomous emergency communication systems, Klitschko said
“Today met with the first mayor of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg Peter Chencher. Thanked for the support and assistance of Hamburg to the Ukrainian capital. And agreed on further cooperation. We discussed with Mr. Chencher assistance of our German partners in providing Kiev with communication systems for emergency cases (in case of blackout). They are necessary today, in particular, for emergency stations, rescue workers, utilities, “- Klitschko wrote on his page on Facebook.
According to him, the issue of providing Kiev with the latest equipment for the warning system was also discussed.
“Very important for our city is the issue of safety of its residents. Kiev needs equipment for the latest warning system, which we have already begun to install. We are talking about a system for announcing air-raid alarms. To develop this system, we need more devices that work autonomously when there is no light. An example of a system that Kiev is installing now is the German one, among others. The mayor of Hamburg assured further assistance to Kiev – both in the current acute needs and in the future reconstruction of the capital of Ukraine”, – said Klitschko.
In addition, Hamburg has provided Kiev with three city buses as assistance, which are already on their way to Kiev.
Klitschko called on German partners to continue to support Ukraine until victory.
“Vladimir and I also talked to the German media and urged both the German authorities and German society to continue to support Ukraine and provide all necessary assistance for our victory and the establishment of peace in Europe,” said Vitali Klitschko.
As it was reported, Kiev and Hamburg signed the “Agreement for solidarity and future” on April 24, 2022. They agreed on a strategic partnership and support in times of crisis.
As a result of damage to the energy infrastructure, there are water supply interruptions in the capital, Kiev mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said.
“There are water supply interruptions in all parts of the capital due to damage to the energy infrastructure. Specialists are working to stabilize the system. Just in case, prepare a supply of drinking and technical water,” Klitschko wrote in his Telegram channel on Friday.
Kiev has deployed more than 400 heating points, most of them are equipped in schools and other social institutions of the city, said the mayor of the capital, Vitaliy Klitschko.
“These stations will work every day. Most of them are equipped in schools and other social institutions of the city. If your house has no power supply for more than a day, you can come to the heating point to recharge your gadgets or flashlights, drink tea, find out information about where the water tanks are, where stores and pharmacies are open,” he wrote in the Telegram-channel.
Klitschko added that also “we are working to ensure that for each point the Internet works.”
The Kiev subway has resumed normal traffic after the missile attack on Kiev and a prolonged air alert, the city’s mayor Vitaly Klitschko said.
“At some underground stations, where a lot of people have gathered, passenger disembarkation is resumed gradually,” Klitschko wrote in his Telegram Channel on Tuesday.
According to him, due to the accumulation of people at subway stations that worked as a shelter, the “red line” subway trains ran from the station “Akademgorodok” to the station “Arsenalnaya”, but the disembarkation of passengers beyond the station “Polytechnic Institute” was not made.
In turn, the “green line” of subway plied from “Syrets” station to “Druzhby Narodiv” station, as well as from “Osokorki” to “Krasniy Khutor. The “blue line” of the subway was running in normal mode.
“Now the subway is gradually resuming traffic in the normal mode,” summed up the mayor.
