“Due to the repairs, buses from Ukraine to Poland will not be allowed to pass through the Shehyni-Medyka checkpoint during this period,” the agency said on Wednesday.
Bus companies are advised to take this information into account when planning routes.
The Shehyni-Medyka crossing, located about 80 kilometers (50 miles) west of Lviv, is one of nine road checkpoints between Poland and Ukraine.
The full list is available on the website of Ukraine’s State Border Service (DPSU).
Information on waiting times for trucks and buses is also available on websites operated by both Ukrainian and Polish authorities.
Ukraine’s airspace has been closed since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, leading to spikes in road and rail travel across borders.
However, travel is expected to become faster as Ukrainians entering the EU transition to fully digital border controls, including biometric scans and new travel authorization systems under the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES).
