In preparation for Easter festivities, the city of Lviv has introduced changes to traffic organization near the Museum of Folk Architecture and Rural Life named after Klymentiy Sheptytskyi. Last year, the open-air museum welcomed up to 10,000 visitors during Easter, prompting the city to adjust traffic flow for safety and accessibility.
Starting April 18, a new traffic scheme is in effect:
-
Nyzhynska Street is now one-way toward Shevchenkivskyi Hai.
-
No entry from Petra Mohyly Street to Nyzhynska Street – a “No Entry” sign is installed.
-
A circular traffic flow is set up at Mohyly Street junctions.
Traffic control and enforcement:
-
Parking inspectors, patrol police, and municipal guards will be on duty.
-
A tow truck will operate continuously to remove improperly parked vehicles.
City officials ask drivers to refrain from using private cars to reach the museum due to limited parking availability. Inspectors will monitor parking at the lots on Chernecha Hora Street and at the entrance from Mohyly Street. If full, cars will be redirected further down Mohyly Street.
Public transport to the museum:
-
Bus route No. 99 will operate on holidays from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, connecting:
Halytska Sq – Soborna Sq – Vynnychenka St – Lychakivska St – Rypyna St – Nyzhynska St – Chernecha Hora – Museum – Mohyly St – Muchna St – Krupyarska St – Lychakivska St – Vynnychenka – Soborna – Franka St – Knyazya Romana – Halytska Sq. -
Route No. 39A also connects the museum with the Professors’ Colony area.
City’s message:
Oleh Zabarilo, head of the city’s mobility department, emphasized the changes aim to ensure efficient operation of public and emergency transport while providing accessible entry for people with disabilities.
