Either traffic jams on the old road, or serpentine
In Crimea, due to a fire at the Starokrymsky training ground, the Tavrida highway leading to the Crimean bridge was blocked several days ago during the terrorist attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Now buses, trucks and cars are forced to use a detour route, and their travel time will become even longer. MK found out how this happens and what inconveniences you may encounter.

«Tavrida» is considered to be a convenient and high-speed road. It passes away from most settlements, so it was convenient to travel along it. Now motorists entering and leaving Crimea are most concerned about the search for a new route.
According to the Head of the Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, now when driving from Simferopol along the Tavrida highway; route should be changed. Now the highway is blocked in the section from the 118th to the 130th kilometer.
In the area of the village of Lgovskoye, you need to turn off the road onto the old road. Drive to «Tavrida» it is possible through the urban-type settlement Pervomaiskoye or Feodosia.
The route in the opposite direction is similar, either along the Feodosia road – Belogorsk. The loop in this case is only 10 extra kilometers, however, the old road is two-lane and runs through settlements, which significantly reduces the speed of movement. At the moment, there are no traffic jams on the road, on the maps it is marked in green almost along the entire route, and there are no difficulties for drivers due to a detour. But if the motorist suddenly decides to turn even lower, driving along the Feodosia Bay, then traffic there is already slightly difficult: the road is marked in yellow.
« shared with «MK» Ekaterina, a resident of Alushta. – But this route is very exhausting. There is a rather difficult road there – sharp turns, passengers get sick, the driver gets tired».
“If you go from Yalta, then after Simferopol, travel along the “Tavrida” blocked by the traffic police already in front of Belogorsk, – says local resident Andrew. – Everyone is sent to the right. Well, traffic jams will now be on the tracks, be healthy, weaned from them».
At the Starokrymsky training ground, according to media reports, explosions are still heard. No damage was recorded outside the landfill, but the evacuation of four settlements, where about two thousand people live, was announced in the vicinity. We are talking about Privetnoy, Abrikosovka, Aivazovsky and Krinichki. People will be accommodated in temporary accommodation facilities located in schools. They will be provided with hot meals and everything you need. According to the Chairman of the Crimean Parliament Vladimir Konstantinov, the evacuation will not be long and will take only a day – two.
However, not all residents want to evacuate. Someone is afraid of marauders
«I keep calm – told «MK» a resident of one of the villages. – If I had a panic, I probably would have evacuated. We are sitting at home with the child.
– I think it's safer outside the house, on the street. We sealed the window panes to reduce the chance of injury from shrapnel. And it's better if all the doors are open.

There are no tourists stop road difficulties and incidents on the territory of the peninsula, many did not change their minds to spend their holidays there. “I will go to the Crimea anyway. I will be with you. Sevastopol, wait for us!» – Muscovite Antonina wrote on social networks.
