Temporary Closure of Crimean Bridge by Russian Authorities

The Crimean Bridge, whose exact location was not specified, experienced a temporary closure on the night of 3-4 September. Russian authorities reported the closure, but the specific details about who ordered the closure are not explicitly stated in the provided sources.

The message announcing the closure did not provide a reason for the temporary shutdown, nor did it specify the duration of the closure or the resumption of traffic. However, it was reported that those on the bridge were asked to remain calm and follow the instructions of transport security staff.

The resumption of traffic on the Crimean Bridge occurred at an unspecified date and time after the initial closure. Russian authorities reported that traffic resumed after 01:00 Kyiv time. The message did not specify whether the resumption of traffic affected all types of traffic on the bridge.

It is also unclear whether the closure and resumption of traffic on the Crimean Bridge were related to the same incident. The message did not specify any precautions or instructions for those resuming traffic on the bridge.

The closure of the Crimean Bridge was announced via the "Crimean Bridge: operational information" Telegram channel. It is unclear whether any changes in the status of the bridge were announced via this channel during the resumption of traffic.

The duration of the temporary closure and the resumption of traffic on the Crimean Bridge were not specified in the message. The location of the Crimean Bridge remains unspecified.
