About the Porțile de Fier 2 / Đerdap 2 crossing
The Porțile de Fier 2 / Đerdap 2 crossing links Romania and Serbia across the Danube along the Iron Gates II hydroelectric dam, further downstream from the larger Iron Gates I. On the Serbian side it sits at Kusjak, close to Prahovo and the town of Negotin; on the Romanian side it is reached over the Ostrovu Mare bridge from the DN56C, in the commune of Gogoșu in Mehedinți County, downstream of the Iron Gates gorge.
This is a smaller, quieter crossing than its upstream neighbour, carrying mainly cars and local and regional traffic rather than heavy transit freight. That often makes it a calmer alternative for travellers moving between the lower Danube areas of the two countries.
Practical tips
- Carry valid travel documents for both Romania and Serbia; with Romania in Schengen and Serbia outside it, full customs and passport checks apply.
- The crossing is open around the clock but has no freight terminal — heavy lorries must use Iron Gates I or Moravița–Vatin instead.
- Check the heatmap above for the quietest hours to cross.
How to read this page
Each square is one day and hour. Green is a short wait (30 min or less), yellow is medium (up to 90), red is long. Grey squares have no reports yet. The big number is the usual wait in minutes; the small number is how many reports it is based on. Faded squares have very few reports, so treat them with caution.
We show two numbers. The usual wait (‘Typically’) is the middle of what people report — a normal day. The busy-day number (‘up to’) is how bad it can get. If you can’t be late, plan for the busy-day number.
The 2-hour window when waits are usually shortest. Arrive near its start for the best chance of a quick crossing. The per-day cards show the same for each weekday.
Reports come in through the day. The Last reporting card at the top shows the latest one. Recent reports count a little more than old ones, and anything based on very few reports is faded — treat it with caution.
Wait times for Romania → Serbia and the opposite direction are tracked separately and often differ significantly. Use the link at the top of the page to switch to the reverse crossing.
Public holidays, seasonal traffic, and road works can shift wait times well outside historical norms. These statistics reflect past patterns — always check current conditions before you travel.
Tap the filter header to expand or collapse the filter panel. Use the period presets — 30 days, 90 days, seasons, All time, or a custom date range — for quick access to different windows. Select specific days of the week or times of day to further narrow your analysis. Default is the current season, all days, all hours.
