The implemented project will involve actions relating to the improvement and modernisation of the infrastructure of the border crossing. The implementation of the project will serve the improvement of infrastructure and border procedures, and boosting of safety while crossing the border between the two countries. The number of road lanes for passenger cars and heavy goods vehicles will be increased. It must be stressed that the initiative is also connected with the common position of the Polish side and the Belarusian side, including the border services of both sides, that was also presented in meetings of the Subcommittee of Border Crossings and Infrastructure of the Poland-Belarus Intergovernmental Coordination Committee on Cross-border Cooperation. The partnership meetings with the State Customs Committee of the Republic of Belarus indicated that the Belarusian partner has undertaken actions aimed at remodelling the road system on their side. The restructuring of the road system in both border posts will improve the capacity of the border crossing and will speed up the control process of vehicles waiting in lines. This will streamline the border traffic, reducing the queues in sensitive periods of the year, not only in the border crossing platform, but also along the national road no. 19 before the border crossing. The implementation of the project will be beneficial for the border guard, customs chamber, the staff of the Border Crossing Service Unit using the created infrastructure, as well as entrepreneurs and local authorities. The implementation of the project will improve the cross-border effect. The border crossing services for person, means of transport, and flow of goods within international trade will be improved. The strategic result is the fulfilment of Schengen zone standards in relation to the protection of the external borders of the EU.
