At the same time, the upgrade and extension of access roads to the border crossing will reduce the risk of collisions and accidents. International road transport among Poland-Belarus-Russia will be improved.The border crossing capacity will be increased. Currently only 500 passenger cars can enter the crossing in both directions per day. The extended crossing would enable 2 000 passenger cars per day in both directions and would introduce admission of trucks (200 trucks up to 7,5 t in both directions per day) and 50 coaches per day in both directions. The investment include construction of the main building, buildings for detailed inspection, pavilions for passenger car clearance, a guard's pavilion and shelters.
