Anticipated Disruptions at Belarus-Poland Border: Essential Guidance for Motorists
News Article: Upcoming Electricity Repair at Kozlovichi Border Checkpoint May Cause Delays for Cargo Transport
Travellers and cargo transport drivers are being advised to plan their routes carefully as the Kozlovichi border checkpoint between Belarus and Poland will undergo repair work on its electricity networks on July 30th.
During the repair, which will take place from 11:00 to 14:30, there will be no electricity on the checkpoint territory. This could potentially cause delays in the movement of cargo transport passing through Kozlovichi.
Recent reports suggest that the checkpoint, which exclusively handles freight transport, has been experiencing some queue fluctuations. For instance, vehicle queues had recently increased by 35 vehicles with only 46% of transports being processed promptly.
While updates indicate that queues are returning to normal with waiting times ranging from half a day to multiple days depending on direction, an interruption such as an electricity repair can reduce processing capacity. This would likely cause a buildup of vehicles waiting to cross, extending the estimated time needed to complete border formalities for cargo.
Customs officials have urged drivers to consider this information when planning their routes and potential inconveniences. They are working to speed up border crossing, but the lack of electricity may slow down the checkpoint’s operations due to lowered throughput, leading to longer waiting times in queues until full power and normal operations resume.
At the Kamenny Log checkpoint, the average time to cross the border for personal vehicles is about 2.5 hours (without violations). However, the upcoming repair at Kozlovichi is likely to increase border crossing times for cargo transport, potentially causing longer vehicle queues and delays.
There have also been reports of deliberate delays by controlling services of neighbouring countries, which may further exacerbate the situation. It is advisable for drivers to keep these factors in mind and plan their trips accordingly.
