On January 9, a hot water pipe burst near the Central Station in Kyiv. Fragments of asphalt are scattered around the houses, and transportation is delayed.

This is reported by RBK-Ukraine citing social media, the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA), and "Kyivpastrans".

In the evening of January 9, near the Central Station, at the intersection of Zhilyanska and Petlyura Streets, a hot water pipe burst. According to Telegram channels, this resulted in a real "sauna" effect.

Additionally, near the nearby houses, likely due to the force of the water jet that burst out, pieces of asphalt were scattered across the road.

As noted by KCSA, specialists from "Kyivteploenergo" have already localized the damage to the heating network near the Central Station.

"Today, January 9, at around 16:40, there was a leak in the heating network affecting the roadway. This is a main pipeline with a diameter of 500 mm. To eliminate the leak, the pressure in the pipeline was reduced," the specialists confirm.

Transportation Delays

Traffic at the corner of Zhilyanska and Petlyura Streets is currently blocked.

"The movement of buses No. 24, 50, 114, and trolleybuses No. 12, 14 at the corner of Petlyura and Zhilyanska Streets towards the Railway Station is delayed due to technical reasons," Kyivpastrans states.

As of 18:00, traffic at the intersection of Zhilyanska and Symon Petlyura Streets has been restored.

Traffic Again Blocked Due to Accident

At around 19:40, KCSA reported that traffic on Symon Petlyura Street has been blocked again from Saksahanskoho Street to Zhilyanska Street. Therefore:

  • Buses No. 24, 50, 114 towards the railway station and back are operating along parallel streets;
  • Trolleybuses No. 12, 14 are running on a shortened route - to the Sports Palace.

As reported, on November 1, a large-scale hot water pipe burst occurred on Deloova Street in Kyiv. The leak happened during the commissioning of the heating network.

Furthermore, on November 15, a pipe burst on the left bank in Kyiv. As a result, traffic is restricted on the Dnipro embankment.
