Estonia closes overnight traffic at the Luhamaa and Koidula road border crossings

From February 24, 2026, the Luhamaa (Shumilkino road checkpoint) and Koidula (Kunichina Gora road checkpoint) border crossing points will operate for 12 hours a day during daytime and will also be closed to all traffic overnight. The Tax and Customs Board states that these crossings will be open for border crossing from 7:00 to 19:00 (Estonian time).

The new arrangement will initially be introduced for a period of three months, after which the situation will be reassessed and a decision made on further steps.

The Narva border crossing and the adjacent Ivangorod checkpoint will continue to operate on the same schedule: daily from 07:00 to 23:00, but for pedestrians only (closed overnight since May 1, 2024).
