“The crossing will be closed for two days due to hurricane winds that can capsize ships. The decision to close the passenger-and-freight line was made jointly with all responsible departments.

Public transport is waiting on the territory of the ferry storage areas,” the message says.
On Saturday afternoon, waiting for the weather conditions to improve, 400 cars stood in line on both sides of the crossing.
“If the weather improves, women with children, WWII veterans, disabled people of categories 1,2 and XNUMX, pregnant women, passengers on a “single ticket”, public transport will be transported to the other side as a priority,” notes the Unified Transport Directorate.
