Real-time data from the crowd-sourced platform KolejkaNaGranicy.pl show an unprecedented 80 hours and 15 minutes wait to enter Poland at the Koroszczyn–Kozłowiczy truck crossing as of 19:41 on 28 September 2026. Export traffic into Belarus faces shorter but still significant delays of 1 hour 25 minutes. Border officials attribute the bottleneck to intensified document checks on Belarusian-registered rigs combined with harvest-season spikes in agri-food imports. The situation is aggravated by the temporary closure of Bobrowniki to heavy goods vehicles following last month’s security incident, funnelling more traffic through Koroszczyn. Logistics operators serving automotive plants in Poznań and Wrocław warn that critical components sourced from suppliers in Minsk risk missing “just-in-time” delivery windows. Several shippers have activated contingency rail routes via Lithuania, but capacity is limited and rates have surged 40 % in a week. Poland’s Ministry of Infrastructure says it is negotiating with Belarus to extend opening hours for customs veterinarians and to pilot a pre-clearance lane for authorised economic operators (AEOs). Until then freight forwarders are advised to book timed slots via the e-Cherha system and to ensure drivers carry extra food and fuel. Passenger-car queues remain modest, but business travellers transiting by road should factor in at least two additional hours for document verification at all Belarus crossings.
