Due to repairs on the tram tracks on Kyrylivska Street, from December 8 to 26, part of the public transport in the capital will operate on altered routes. The Kyiv City State Administration reports that the works will cover the Podil and Obolon districts and will take place daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This is reported by 44.ua.

Public transport in Kyiv changes routes from December 8, 2025

KP Kyivpastrans notes that the changes affect four tram routes:

• Trams No. 11, 12, 16 will run from Yordanska, Pushcha-Vodytsia, and the Heroiv Dnipra station to Semen Skliarenko Street

Public transport in Kyiv: temporary route for bus 19T

For passenger convenience, a new temporary bus route 19T will be launched. It will connect Kontraktova Square with Taras Shevchenko Square. Main directions:

• towards Taras Shevchenko Square: Spaska – Mezhyhirskaya – Shchekavytska – Kostyantynivska – Olenivska – Kyrylivska – Syretska – Semen Skliarenko – Avtozavodska – Polyarnaya

• in the opposite direction: Polyarnaya – Avtozavodska – Semen Skliarenko – Syretska – Kyrylivska – Shchekavytska – Kostyantynivska – Spaska.

Transport movement in Kyiv is regularly adjusted during repairs and restoration work. The tram infrastructure in Podil and Obolon requires modernization, so temporary changes allow for maintenance work without completely stopping services.

Earlier, we reported that Kyiv prepared a new action plan for possible electricity outages in the autumn-winter period of 2025-2026.
