October 14, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. Movement of all types of vehicles at the "Grigorovshchina" road checkpoint will resume on October 15, the Vitebsk Customs informed a BELTA correspondent.
The "Grigorovshchina" checkpoint is located in the Verkhnedvinsk district on the border with Latvia. It was closed on July 15 of this year due to large-scale reconstruction work. By October 15, the first phase of the facility will be commissioned: two lanes for departing trucks, one lane for arriving trucks, as well as lanes for arriving and departing cars and buses will start operating.
The arrangement of road checkpoints is one of the areas of activity of the State Customs Committee of Belarus, which is carried out within the framework of the comprehensive program adopted by the government for 2011-2015. As previously reported, within the state investment program for 2012, it was planned to allocate Br134.95 billion, which were directed to the commissioning of the "Privalka" road checkpoint on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border, "Grigorovshchina" on the Belarusian-Latvian border, as well as to the start of the development of design and estimate documentation for the "Kamienny Loh" and "Novaya Huta" road checkpoints. The implementation of the comprehensive program measures will allow by 2015 to reach the throughput capacity of all checkpoints of 33.98 thousand vehicles per day. -0-
