Brief and important for drivers
Traffic is restricted in Kyiv on Olena Teliha Street heading toward the "Shuliavska" metro station due to a road traffic accident. This was reported by UNN, citing the Kyiv Patrol Police. If you are planning a trip in that direction — allow extra time or choose a detour.
Where exactly and what this means for your route
Olena Teliha Street runs through the Podil and Shevchenkivskyi districts — from Dehtiarivska to Stepan Bandera Avenue and Novokostiantynivska Street. Part of this street is included in the city's segment of the Small Ring Road, so delays here can create ripple effects on adjacent streets.
If you need to get to "Shuliavska," consider temporary alternatives via Dehtiarivska or Stepan Bandera Avenue, and check traffic conditions in mobile apps before you set off.
"Drivers are asked to take the changes in traffic into account and plan trips considering the congestion."
