## The week at a glance

Border crossing traffic in the [Ukraine](https://nakordoni.eu/en/country/ukraine)–[Poland](https://nakordoni.eu/en/country/poland) corridor is forecast to peak on Sunday, 28 June (coinciding with Ukraine's Constitution Day observed on that date), with [Smilnytsia–Krosstsenko](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_19) projected to experience extreme congestion, while Friday, 3 July is anticipated to see the lightest traffic of the week. The weekend departure surge on Saturday–Sunday is expected to concentrate at northern and central crossings, with significant return-journey intensity on Sunday morning reflecting holiday-weekend patterns. Traffic is projected to ease notably from Monday onwards, reaching its minimum on Friday as mid-week patterns give way to lighter end-of-week flows.

## Day-by-day outlook

### Saturday — 27 June

Smilnytsia–Krosstsenko (Ukraine→Poland) is forecast to experience extreme intensity with peak congestion at 04:00, 16:00, and 19:00. Nyzhankovychi–Malhowice is projected to see high intensity during the 08:00–11:00 window, while Uhryniv–Dolgobychuv and Ustyluh–Zosyn are forecast to remain moderate. Krakivets–Korchova and Hrushiv–Budomezh are projected to remain light throughout the day. Early-morning and late-afternoon peaks are forecast to reflect typical weekend departure patterns across the corridor.

### Sunday — 28 June

Ukraine's Constitution Day is observed on this date, and traffic intensities are forecast to remain elevated on Sunday. Smilnytsia–Krosstsenko again shows extreme intensity at 04:00, 16:00, and 19:00, with Nyzhankovychi–Malhowice at high intensity during 08:00–11:00. The Poland→Ukraine direction also sees heightened return traffic, particularly at Nyzhankovychi–Malhowice with high intensity projected for 00:00–03:00 and 23:00. Congestion is forecast to reflect both weekend-return and Constitution Day-related cross-border movement, making Sunday the week's busiest day overall.

### Monday — 29 June

Traffic is forecast to decline post-holiday. Rava-Ruska–Khrebenne (Ukraine→Poland) remains moderate with peaks at 08:00, 15:00, and 17:00, while Shehyni–Medyka (Ukraine→Poland) shifts to light intensity. Most other crossings are projected to return to light or very-light levels. Weekday patterns are forecast to resume as the post-holiday surge subsides.

### Tuesday — 30 June

Shehyni–Medyka (Ukraine→Poland) is forecast to experience moderate intensity with peaks at 02:00, 17:00, and 21:00—notably concentrated around early morning and evening hours. All other crossings remain light to very light. Mid-week traffic distribution is projected to narrow to fewer, time-concentrated peaks compared to the weekend.

### Wednesday — 1 July

Similar mid-week patterns are forecast to persist, with Shehyni–Medyka and Rava-Ruska–Khrebenne at moderate intensity during their respective peak windows (02:00, 17:00, 21:00 and 08:00, 15:00, 17:00). All [Ukraine→Poland car crossings](https://nakordoni.eu/en/stat/1/2/4) are projected to avoid sustained high congestion during daytime hours.

### Thursday — 2 July

Despite some checkpoints being forecast to reach their weekly-worst intensity designation on this day, traffic levels remain light across the board. Krakivets–Korchova and Hrushiv–Budomezh show light intensity with scattered peaks in the 08:00–14:00 and late-evening windows. Late-afternoon and early-evening concentrations are forecast to ease after 22:00 across most crossings.

### Friday — 3 July

All major crossings are forecast to experience their lightest weekly traffic on Friday. Peak-hour windows shift to early morning and mid-morning (07:00–10:00) across nearly all checkpoints. This day is projected to mark the week's minimum congestion across the Ukraine–Poland corridor.
