Poland: the bridge on the Oder in Krosno Odrzańskie closed to HGV traffic
In response to a request from the authorities of Krosno Odrzańskie, the Ministry of Infrastructure has introduced a temporary ban for HGV traffic on the bridge across the Oder river.
The ban came into effect at 11:00 p.m. on September 19, and applies to all vehicles in through traffic.
The measure has been introduced to improve traffic flow and reduce traffic jams in connection with the expected flood wave on the Oder. Diversions have been designated, and drivers are asked to follow the new road signage.
This ban will also facilitate the transport of materials such as sand and water-blocking walls, which are used to protect the town from the upcoming flood wave. Emergency service vehicles are exempt from the ban.
