China, Russia: Chinese authorities to temporarily close border crossing with Russia at Poltavka, Nov. 6-7

Event

Authorities will close the border crossing between Poltavka, Russia (Primorsky Kray region), and Dongning, China (Heilongjiang Province), Nov. 6-7, for temporary repairs.

The closure will cause disruption and delays to border crossings. Alternative routes are likely to cause lengthy detours and potentially increased congestion for people and goods at other crossing points.

Advice

Plan routes to avoid the Poltavka border crossing Nov. 6-7. Ensure all appropriate documentation is in order and confirm the status of border crossing points prior to travel if entering or shipping goods. Anticipate disruption, including possible queues and delays, at alternative border checkpoints.
