On Thursday, November 12, at the Ukrainian-Romanian border, vehicle traffic will be temporarily restricted through the checkpoint "Solotvino – Sighetu Marmației" in the Zakarpattia region. The restrictions will be in effect from 08:00 to 16:00 in the direction of entry into Romania.
The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported this on November 11, according to their statement.
The reason for the restrictions are planned technical works on the Romanian side of the border. In particular, they will be replacing modular cabins used by border guard officers for document control and processing of travelers.
In this regard, drivers planning a trip to Romania on November 12 are advised to adjust their route in advance. As an alternative, border guards suggest using the neighboring checkpoint "Bila Tserkva – Sighetu Marmației".
The restrictions may affect not only motorists. According to the State Border Guard Service, during the works there may be a slowdown in the processing of pedestrians crossing the Ukrainian-Romanian border through Solotvino.
The agency urged citizens to take these changes into account when planning trips to avoid long waits at the border.
The announced restrictions concern the entry of vehicles into Romania. The border guards did not report a complete closure of the checkpoint or the suspension of traffic in the opposite direction.
