You're reading: Kyiv metro bridge traffic may resume in 60-90 minutes

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko says he expects that traffic along the Metro Bridge, which was blocked by a man who threatened to blow up the bridge, will resume within an hour and a half.

While commenting at journalists’ requests, Klitschko said that taking into account the work being done by bomb disposal specialists and other experts, traffic might resume in an hour and a half.

Earlier Klitschko told reporters that senior officials from Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and the National Police were not far from the scene.

As it was reported earlier, police detained a gunman, who threatened to blow up the Metro Bridge over the Dnipro River in Kyiv.
