The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS) has issued a warning regarding temporary traffic restrictions for vehicles entering Romania via the "Solotvyno – Sighetu Marmației" border crossing in the Zakarpattia region. The restrictions will come into effect on November 10, 2026, and will remain in place for one day, from 08:00 to 16:00. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing an official statement from the border guards. ### Reason: Technical work on the Romanian side According to information provided by the Romanian authorities, technical work to replace the modular cabins used for border control will be conducted at the border crossing during this period. For this reason, vehicle traffic entering Romania will be temporarily restricted. Border guards also warn that the processing of pedestrians may slow down during this time, so all travelers are advised to allow extra time for border control. ### Advice for drivers and alternative routes The SBGS urges drivers to adjust their routes in advance and, if possible, postpone their border crossing to another day. For those who must enter Romania on November 10, border guards suggest using the nearby "Bila Tserkva – Sighetu Marmației" checkpoint. Citizens are asked to account for these temporary inconveniences when planning their trips to avoid unnecessary delays in border queues. ### Context: New border crossings and neighbor negotiations The restriction at "Solotvyno" is part of a broader process of upgrading the infrastructure of the Ukrainian-Romanian border. On September 17, 2026, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine ordered the launch of a new automotive border crossing, "Bila Tserkva – Sighetu Marmației," which will operate around the clock and accept passenger vehicles with a maximum authorized mass of up to 3.5 tons. Concurrently, as previously reported by RBC-Ukraine, Ukraine is negotiating with Poland and Slovakia to move customs control deeper into their territories to accelerate the transit of goods and passengers. ### Seasonal restrictions on other routes Drivers planning trips to western and southwestern Ukraine should also consider other temporary restrictions. Specifically, from November 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027, the Shurdyn Pass in the Chernivtsi region, which provides access to the "Ruska" border crossing on the Romanian border, will be closed; this involves a regional restriction on the T-26-09/R-62 road section, not a suspension of the border crossing itself. Furthermore, according to the SBGS, the most popular crossings remain Ustyluh in the Volyn region, as well as Krakovets and Shehyni in the Lviv region, where queues periodically occur. Thus, when planning cross-border trips in November 2026, drivers and pedestrians are advised to check the current status of border crossings in advance and choose alternative routes. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Один из КПП на границе с Румынией временно не будет работать 10 ноября](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/odin-kpp-kordoni-rumunieyu-timchasovo-pratsyuvatime-1794239177.html) - Original source: restriction 10.11.2026 08:00–16:00 at "Solotvyno – Sighetu Marmației", reason — replacement of modular cabins, recommendation to use "Bila Tserkva – Sighetu Marmației". - [На пути к КПП "Руська" на границе с Румынией меняют движение: что следует знать водителям](https://today.ua/ru/495054-na-shlyahu-do-kpp-ruska-na-kordoni-z-rumuniyeyu-zminyuyut-ruh-sho-varto-znati-vodiyam/) - Context: seasonal closure of the Shurdyn Pass from 01.11.2026 to 30.04.2027, regional restriction, "Ruska" border crossing remains operational. - [В Белой Церкви заработает новый пограничный переход с Румынией (фото)](https://focus.ua/ukraine/768248-v-beloy-cerkvi-zarabotaet-novyy-pogranichnyy-perehod-s-rumyniey-foto) - Context: Cabinet of Ministers decision dated 17.09.2026 on the launch of the "Bila Tserkva – Sighetu Marmației" checkpoint, 24/7 operation, passenger transport up to 3.5t. ## FAQ ### When and at which checkpoint will restrictions be introduced?
