In Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates, every future-directed radial causal curve has nondecreasing U and V. The right exterior has U<0,V>0, while the left has U>0,V<0. No future-directed causal curve can travel between the exteriors because it would have to decrease one null coordinate. The spatial bridge on a time-symmetric slice is therefore not a traversable passage.
