Russian forces admit that movement of trucks across Crimean bridge will be blocked until December

This is reported by Russian media. 

According to the Russian Ministry of Transport, freight transport will be able to move on the road part of the Crimean bridge no earlier than December 1.

Currently, occupying Russian forces have decided to limit the transportation of goods even by ferry crossing the Kerch Strait due to the long waiting time for the loading of trucks going from the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation to the port in Kerch.

Lists of priority cargoes, which will be transported first, have also been determined. The remaining types of cargo are proposed to be delivered by an alternative land route from Russian Taganrog through the occupied Dzhankoi and transshipment of the goods to rail transport.

• On October 8, there was an explosion and a fire on the Crimean bridge.

• On October 9, the occupation authorities recognized that after the explosion the Crimean bridge was unfit for trucks and buses to pass. Later, the traffic of buses and partially trucks was restored.

• On October 25, freight traffic to the Kerch ferry crossing was restricted in the Krasnodar region.
