Earlier on Monday, July 3, the traffic jam at the Crimean Bridge from the Temryuksky district of Kuban increased to 13 kilometers.

A multi-kilometer traffic jam on the Crimean Bridge was formed on July 1 due to a large number of people wishing to get to the peninsula. According to Lukashenko, a large number of cars have accumulated due to increased security at the entrance to the crossing. According to Ilya Umansky, president of the Russian Union of Tourism Industry (PCT), hotels in Crimea will not apply sanctions to tourists who will be delayed and will not have time to check in on time due to traffic jams at the Crimean Bridge.
