Where exactly and what this means for your route
Olena Teliha Street runs through the Podil and Shevchenkivskyi districts — from Dehtiarivska to Stepan Bandera Avenue and Novokostiantynivska Street. Part of this street is included in the city's segment of the Small Ring Road, so delays here can create ripple effects on adjacent streets.
