All traffic restrictions on the floating bridge in Kirovo-Chepetsk have been lifted.

      On July 18, the head of the Kirovo-Chepetsk administration, Igor Gagarinov, signed a decree to open traffic on the floating bridge to the Karintorf microdistrict. However, only vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tons were allowed to pass. In the evening of July 22, the authorities announced that all traffic restrictions on the floating bridge had been lifted. The removal of these restrictions was made possible by the water level in the Cheptsa River, which had dropped to 107.52 meters above sea level according to the Baltic height system.
