Hundreds of trucks have been queuing for two weeks at the Giurgiulesti border crossing, where drivers wait up to three days.
Written later, from the reports of that day.
What it means for you
If you move goods through this crossing, the wait can be from 10 hours to three days. Villagers complain of noise, dust and accident risk from heavy traffic. The Agrocereale association has asked the agriculture and infrastructure ministries to help set up a truck parking area.
What happened
For two weeks, hundreds of trucks carrying grain and oil products have been stuck in queues at the Giurgiulesti border crossing. Drivers wait up to three days for customs, with no toilets or basic hygiene. The village mayor says there are no parking spaces along the new road, and work on a 3.8 km section is planned only for 2028.
In short
- Drivers sleep in snatches of 5, 10 or 30 minutes, and the queue sometimes moves only 50-100 metres.
- Some carriers take the Giurgiulesti route, according to economists, to avoid transit costs of about 40 euros through Romania.
- The plot chosen for a parking area is farmland, and authorities have not yet found a way to change its status.
- The mayor said the parking and infrastructure project is funded by the EBRD and the European Commission.
