Traffic partly restored across Dnipro hydroelectric dam in Zaporizhzhia
Traffic across the Dnipro hydroelectric dam in Zaporizhzhia was partly restored on the evening of 14 November. Vehicles now use one lane in each direction, said acting regional governor Mykhailo Semikin.
Authorities in Zaporizhzhia, a city in south-eastern Ukraine, partly reopened the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant dam to traffic on the evening of 14 November. The announcement came from Mykhailo Semikin, acting head of the Zaporizhzhia regional military administration.
"Traffic across the Dnipro hydroelectric dam has been partly restored. For now, vehicles are moving in one lane in each direction," he said.
Morning restrictions
Earlier on 14 November, movement across the dam was fully closed in both directions. The source does not specify the immediate reason for that decision.
Background
A day earlier, on 13 November, Semikin warned that for security reasons the city could see temporary closures of bridges and of the Dnipro hydroelectric dam. The dam is an important transport link across the Dnipro in a city located close to the war zone in Ukraine.
