A reconstructed waiting area has officially opened at the Brest border crossing, the press service of the Belarusian State Customs Committee reports. The site is designed to accommodate about 370 vehicles.
Before reconstruction, the area could hold 84 parking spaces. Its size has been increased by 2.3 hectares, and the number of parking spots has grown fourfold — with 235 spaces added for passenger vehicles and 50 for buses.

A total of 17 electronic boards have been installed across the территории, duplicating calls for vehicles to proceed to the border crossing.
