Traffic leaving Latvia for Belarus has been halted at the **Paternieki** border crossing point. The Latvian State Border Guard announced the suspension on the evening of 31 July 2026, citing technical reasons and asking travellers to follow further updates.

##### What the suspension covers:

Only the outbound direction is affected: vehicles heading from Latvia into Belarus are not being processed at Paternieki while the problem lasts. The notice gave no reopening time, so drivers should treat the stoppage as open-ended until the Border Guard confirms normal operation.

###### 🇱🇻 Latvia:

- 31 July 2026, evening: exit toward Belarus not operating at Paternieki
- No official restart time announced
- The announcement did not report changes to inbound processing

##### Practical advice for drivers:

- Confirm the status of the crossing immediately before departure, as technical stoppages can end without advance notice
- Avoid queueing up near the crossing point, where parking space is limited
- Freight operators should notify dispatchers early, since delivery windows will need rescheduling
- Carry enough fuel, water and food in case waiting times stretch out

Conditions on this section of the border can change within hours, so check the [current situation at Latvian border crossings](https://nakordoni.eu/en/country/latvia) before setting off and plan an alternative route in advance.
