The new terminal has the newest technology and makes the border crossing more convinient and quicker. The working environment in the terminal was also improved. Narva Border Crossing Point is one of the biggest mainland border crossing points between the EU and Russia.

The border crossing point has now 12 rows for cars, 2 for buses and 8 for pedestrians. Thanks to the new bigger terminal the border crossing points has exceeded it’s maximum capacity taking into consideration that the border crossing point is in the city center.

Narva-1 terminal construction works were funded by ENPI Cross Border cooperation programme Estonia-Latvia-Russia 2007 – 2013 and from Estonian national budget. The terminal was designed by AS Amhold.
