Questions & Answers about Если на мосту авария, троллейбус может застрять в пробке на полчаса.
Because Если на мосту авария is a subordinate if-clause, and Russian normally separates it from the main clause with a comma.
So the structure is:
Если на мосту авария, | троллейбус может застрять в пробке на полчаса.
This is more regular in Russian than in English: when the если clause comes first, you use a comma.
Russian says на мосту for on the bridge.
There are two things happening here:
- на is the normal preposition for being on a bridge.
- мост has a special location form мосту after в and на when it means actual physical location.
So:
- на мосту = on the bridge
For modern standard Russian, на мосту is the normal form.
