Crimea bridge resumes traffic after blast

Light traffic has resumed on Russia's only bridge to Crimea, hours after a huge blast brought down sections of the roadway.

The blast that occurred on Saturday on Europe's longest bridge had killed three people.  

The 19km (12-mile) bridge across the Kerch Strait, which cost £2.7bn to build, was opened four years after



Moscow annexed Crimea.

The railway part of the bridge -   also apparently reopened. The rail and road crossing is a key supply route for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The bridge is strategically important because it links Russia’s Krasnodar region with the Crimean Peninsula.
