Al-Sheeb Border Crossing Reopens; Mandali to Close Temporarily

By John Lee.

Iraq's Al-Sheeb border crossing with Iran reopened on Tuesday, while the Mandali border crossing is to close temporarily from Friday.

According to the Border Ports Commission (BPC), Al-Sheeb was scheduled to reopen at 8am this morning (Tuesday) after the completion of "technical requirements and preparatory work to ensure smooth movement of travellers and goods."

Mandali will close at 8am on Friday for maintenance and technical work, partly in anticipation of the rainy season and its potential impact on vehicle movement and operations at the crossing.

The BPC says the reopening date for Mandali will be announced once work is complete.
