This was announced by the Russian authorities.

Full traffic on both sides of the Crimean bridge will be restored by November 1, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said after a meeting with Putin.

So far, only the rightmost lane of the Taman-Kerch direction on the bridge works, and cars are allowed to cross it in reverse mode - that is, one by one in each direction.

"We plan to restore two-way traffic on one side by September 15. Traffic on the second side will be available by this November. The terms will be specified when the design and estimate documentation is prepared," Khusnullin said.

As Charter97.org wrote, yesterday, July 17, explosions took place on the Crimean bridge. There was a collapse of one span, another came off the support, which had at least one hit.

A number of Ukrainian media write that the Crimean bridge was attacked by surface drones. It is possible that it was a special operation of the Security Service of Ukraine and the country's navy.
