Brno, Nov 1 (BD) – Mendlovo Náměstí is now closed due to essential works on the water supply and sewage systems.

Dopravní omezení na Mendlově náměstí má za důsledek zahlcení ulic Poříčí, Hlinky a křižovatky u vozovny Pisárky. Až 30 minutové zpoždění nabírají v kolonách linky 84 a E56. Doprava kolabuje i u Zvonařky, kde jsou dva pruhy svedeny v jeden, zpožděné jsou linky 49, 77, 84 a E76. pic.twitter.com/1VhqFMYsxq

The closure caused congestion on Poříčí and Hlinky, and a few intersecting streets close to the Pisárky depot. Routes 84 and E56 are running over 30 minutes late.

Problems were also encountered on Zvonařka, where there are delays reported on lines 49, 77, 84 and E76.

The Brno Transport Company (DPMB) wrote on Twitter that they are trying to establish a stable interval between connections.
