The Crimean Bridge traffic ban has raised questions among Telegram users.

The temporary closure of the road bridge between the Krasnodar Krai and Crimea has raised questions about the reasons and duration of the restrictions.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," starting November 3, 2025, electric and hybrid vehicles are prohibited from using the Crimean Bridge. Drivers have been offered an alternative overland route along the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov, from Taganrog to Dzhankoy. Authorities cited safety concerns for the decision. On the same day, the first 18 fines were issued to electric vehicle drivers who attempted to cross the bridge in defiance of the ban.

Vehicle traffic on the Crimean Bridge has been temporarily closed, the road information center reported on its Telegram channel at 9:33 a.m. Moscow time regarding the situation on the approaches to the Crimean Bridge.

"We ask those on the bridge and in the inspection zone to remain calm and follow the instructions of transport security officers," the post stated.

The travel ban has raised questions among some Telegram users in the "Crimean Bridge Chat" group. "Who knows if the bridge is closed for a long time?" Alexsso wrote.

"Do you think this is scheduled? They'll announce the opening," Leila E-va replied. "The bridge is closed until the military sees clear skies. Please be patient!" "Ilya urged.

Everything is disorganized since Taman. Everyone goes wherever they see.

User Punk criticized the traffic organization. "Now, when the alarm was raised, they were going out. It's a mess, of course, everything is disorganized since Taman. Everyone goes wherever they see. Out of habit, we went to the first exit to the bridge. It's closed, I know, but I thought they'd at least open it during the alarm. But no, the exit is only at the letter Z. The traffic cops don't know anything either, in short, it's funny," he wrote.

Traffic on the bridge was later restored. "There are no difficulties accessing the manual inspection points on either side of the Crimean Bridge," the Road Information Center reported at 10:19 a.m. Moscow time regarding the situation on the road approaches to the Crimean Bridge.

As a reminder, on August 18, 2025, security forces discovered an explosive device in a vehicle arriving from Georgia. According to the FSB, the vehicle was destined for the Krasnodar Territory and was planned to be used to detonate the Crimean Bridge.

On July 17, 2023, the Crimean Bridge was attacked by Ukrainian drones, destroying one span and damaging another. Traffic on the bridge was restored only on November 1 of that year.

On October 8, 2022, an explosion occurred on the Crimean Bridge, collapsing two spans. Traffic on the bridge was resumed a month later. The FSB stated that Ukrainian military intelligence was the organizer of the terrorist attack. Human rights activists recognized all eight defendants in the bridge bombing case as political prisoners, claiming they were random individuals. On November 27, 2025, the court sentenced the defendants to life imprisonment.
