Russian-installed officials have told people to find other routes into the occupied Ukrainian peninsula.
, Sergey Aksyonov, the head of the Russian administration in Crimea, said: "Traffic was stopped on the Crimean bridge. An emergency occurred in the area of the 145th support from the [Russia side of the bridge].
"Law enforcement agencies and all responsible services are working. Measures are being taken to restore the situation. "Given the current situation, I ask residents and guests of the peninsula to refrain from traveling through the Crimean bridge and, for security reasons, choose an alternative land route through new regions."
This is how Russia refers to the Ukrainian territories it occupied last year and claims to have annexed.
