Nakordoni.eu provides the most up-to-date information about queues at all border crossing points between Belarus and Lithuania in real-time. Our border queue monitoring service helps thousands of travelers daily plan their border crossing and save time. We track data from 5 key border checkpoints: Benyakoni — Šalčininkai, Kamennyy Log — Myadyninkai, Kotlovka — Lavoriškės, Losha — Šumskas, Privalka — Raigardas. Figures combine official border-service data where it is published, cameras and driver reports, and refresh as soon as new data arrives. Use our online service to choose the optimal border checkpoint and crossing time.

Belarus–Lithuania is now operating with only one open crossing for passenger cars: Medininkai–Kamenny Log. Lithuania closed Šalčininkai and Lavoriškės for personal traffic in 2024 over hybrid-attack concerns. Wait times at Medininkai range from 3 to 30 hours depending on screening and incidents. Bicycles and pedestrians are not allowed.

## When is the best time to cross the Belarus — Lithuania border?

This pattern is built from 4 border crossings on this route, using 8 752 queue measurements collected over the last 60 days.

The lightest day of the week is Tuesday, when the queue averages 46 cars. The heaviest day is Sunday, at about 85 cars — roughly 1.9 times the quiet-day level.

- Quietest windows: Tuesday 06:00–10:00, Tuesday 14:00–16:00.
- Busiest windows: Sunday 14:00–16:00, Sunday 20:00–24:00.
- Average across the whole week: 61 cars waiting at any given hour.

If the schedule allows any flexibility, the cheapest day to arrive is Tuesday, and the day to plan around is Sunday. Weekends carry roughly 20% more traffic than working days, which is worth weighing against the convenience of travelling on a day off.

Figures are rolling averages from our own queue measurements. They describe a typical week and will shift around public holidays, weather events and temporary border restrictions.
