Temporary Vehicle Restrictions at Solotvyno Border Crossing with Romania.

Romanian Border Crossing Implements Temporary Restrictions

According to Novyny.live: Temporary restrictions on vehicle processing have been introduced at the 'Solotvyno—Sighetu Marmației' border crossing point with Romania. This measure is due to the upcoming reconstruction of the bridge over the Tisza River, with work scheduled to begin on February 16, 2026, and continue until April 3. The Solotvyno crossing is a key link in the western Ukrainian transport network.

These vehicle processing restrictions will be in effect on weekdays from Monday to Friday, between 09:00 and 16:00. During these hours, vehicle clearance will be suspended, which may impact travel plans. It is important to note that pedestrian traffic will not be affected and people on foot will be able to cross the border without interruption.

Key Information for Travelers

Travelers may cross the border carrying any amount of cash. However, sums exceeding 10,000 euros must be declared. Failure to comply with this declaration requirement will result in a fine equal to 20% of the amount exceeding the limit. Travelers should remain vigilant about border rules, especially during this period of temporary restrictions.

The vehicle restrictions at the 'Solotvyno—Sighetu Marmației' crossing are likely to significantly affect movement, so these changes must be considered when planning trips. While the bridge reconstruction is a necessary infrastructure improvement, it will create temporary inconvenience for drivers. The continued availability of pedestrian crossing remains an important option for those planning to travel across the border during this time.
