This summer, border guards are anticipating a 40% increase in passenger traffic at border crossings in the Lviv region.
This was reported by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
Border situation in summer: what the border guards say
The longest queues for exiting Ukraine are observed at the «Krakivets» and «Shehyni» points.
Moderate traffic is noted at «Rava-Ruska», «Hrushev», and «Uhrinev».
The least congestion is found at «Nyzhankovychi» and «Smilnytsia».
Border guards recommend crossing the border during:
- for exiting Ukraine: weekdays, early morning or late evening
- for entering Ukraine: weekends.
Temporary restrictions at the «Shehyni» crossing point
Border guards have noted that due to large-scale repair and modernization works at the «Shehyni» crossing point, vehicle and truck movement is temporarily restricted.
This specifically affects exits from Ukraine.
Engineering networks are being installed and road surfaces are being dismantled on this route.
Travelers are advised to consider these temporary restrictions when planning their trips and, if possible, choose alternative crossing points.
The State Border Guard Service also reminded that the western section of the border can also be crossed in the Zakarpattia, Chernivtsi, and Volyn regions.
