According to the official, the situation on the Crimean bridge "normalized". Currently, all vehicles that come to the bridge are carefully inspected. In addition, it became known that in working order eight ferries, two of which carry a dangerous cargo.

The official reason for strengthening the protection of the Crimean bridge is the "increase in the flow of tourists".
