About Terespol – Brest
Terespol–Brest is the main road crossing on the Belarusian border, on the E30 route linking Warsaw via Biała Podlaska with Brest and, on the Belarusian side, on to Minsk. A bridge over the Bug separates the two towns. It is listed for cars and buses in both directions and is the natural route for coach services to Brest and Minsk.
The 60-day data covers traffic entering Poland. Cars wait about an hour on average, but the spread is very uneven: usually under half an hour on Mondays and Tuesdays, close to two hours on Fridays and around two and a half on Saturdays. Unusually, night is the worst time – the longest queues were recorded just after midnight on Saturdays – while afternoons are quickest. Buses entering Poland can wait many hours, especially on Saturdays and Sundays, less in the morning and afternoon than in the evening and at night. There are not enough measurements for leaving Poland.
Plan a return by car for a Monday or Tuesday during the day, and avoid the nights from Friday to Saturday and Saturday to Sunday. Neighbouring Koroszczyn–Kozlovichi is not a good alternative, as entering Poland there takes far longer. Travellers coming from the Grodno side can consider Kuźnica–Bruzgi, where entering Poland involves practically no queue.
