Forecast update for August 16 and 17 in Krasnodar Region
The Kerch Strait Bridge, a vital connection between Crimea and Russia, continues to experience traffic delays as of August 14, 2022. According to the latest reports from the Telegram channel "Crimean Bridge: Live Updates," there is a queue on the Kerch side of the bridge, with no vehicles in line on the Taman side at the present moment.
The waiting time at the Kerch Strait Bridge is approximately three hours, as of the current report. However, the waiting time on the Taman side remains unspecified. The queue is for manual inspection, and there are no changes in the inspection process reported.
The situation regarding traffic congestion is different on the Taman side compared to the Kerch side. As of 9:00 AM on Thursday, August 14, there were 860 vehicles in line at the Kerch Strait Bridge.
It's important to note that the Kerch Strait Bridge has been a target of multiple Ukrainian strikes around that period, causing intermittent disruptions to traffic. Large explosions and attacks around Crimea and the Kerch Bridge led to traffic backups due to civilian evacuation attempts and security measures after attacks on nearby military bases and infrastructure.
Despite these incidents, the bridge has resumed traffic within hours or days after repairs, indicating ongoing instability in the smooth flow of traffic. However, no quantitative figures or precise waiting times for manual inspection or congestion levels on both sides of the bridge or Krasnodar Krai on August 14, 2022, were found in the available search results.
For detailed real-time data or historical traffic statistics for that date, official local traffic reports or border authority announcements from Russian or Crimean sources from that specific day would be needed. The search results mainly provide contextual information about the strategic situation and damage events around that period, not detailed traffic or inspection times.
