Get Ready for Traffic Madness in Moscow's Victory Day Celebrations!
Mark your calendars, Moscowites! On May 9, from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM, traffic headaches will be the order of the day as we commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory Day. Here's what you need to know about the traffic restrictions and public transport detours:
If you're venturing to the city center, get ready for some roadblocks! These streets will be off-limits starting at 7:00 AM:
- Khabarova Street (from Chiryayeva to Bogatyreva)
- Bogatyreva Street (from Khabarova to Gubina)
- Bogdan Chizhika Street (from Bogatyreva to F. Popova)
- Bestuzhev-Marlinsky Street (from B. Chizhika to F. Popova)
- Naberezhnaya Romana Dmitrieva (from Khabarova to 202nd microdistrict)
From 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, traffic will be even tighter during the "Immortal Regiment" event, with the following streets joining the restricted list:
- Yaroslavskogo Street (from Kurashova to Khabarova)
- Khabarova Street (from Yaroslavskogo to Chiryayeva)

Do not fret about public transport, though! Services will continue to operate according to temporary detour schemes. As in previous years, central streets such as Tverskaya, 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya, Mokhovaya, Bolshaya Nikitskaya, and embankments may be closed to traffic, so be prepared for some transit diversions.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information on traffic restrictions, street closures, and public transport detours, be sure to check official Moscow transport announcements or use reliable real-time transport apps. To ensure a smooth celebration, it's advisable to give yourself extra time and, where possible, make arrangements to avoid driving in the city center.
Lastly, remember that from May 5 to May 9, mobile internet may be restricted for security reasons. So, while you're out celebrating and reminiscing, keep those Victory Day spirits alive!
