Shehyni checkpoint will temporarily restrict movement of passenger cars today – State Border Guard Service

From 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 22, repair work will begin at the Shehyni checkpoint on the border with Poland. As a result, exit from Ukraine for passenger cars will be limited. The press service of the State Border Guard Service reported this on Telegram.

According to the State Border Guard Service, one of the exit lanes will not function due to the work, which may lead to queues.

The work at the checkpoint will approximately last until May 10.

"We recommend planning your route in advance and, if possible, choosing less busy checkpoints: Rava-Ruska, Hrushiv, Uhryniv, Smilnytsia, Nyzhankovychi," the message says.

On December 21, 2024, it was reported that the seventh automobile checkpoint Malhowice became operational on the Polish-Ukrainian border.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, passenger traffic increased on the Ukrainian border before Easter. Over 109,000 people crossed the border in a day.

From March 13, cargo clearance will be carried out in a slow mode at the Shehyni checkpoint. The restrictions will last until May 10, 2025 due to the reconstruction of the checkpoint. On March 6, changes to the border crossing rules for men employed in the fields of culture, media, strategic communications and information activities came into force.
