Transportation

Nyzhankovychi railway station is on the railway connecting Khyriv and Przemyśl, this is the last station in Ukraine. There is infrequent passenger traffic in the direction of Khyriv; there is no passenger traffic to Poland. Until 1994, the stretch between Nyzhankovychi and Khtriv had a dual gauge, which, in principle, allowed the trains to cross into Poland. After the 1994 reconstruction, only the Ukrainian gauge (1520 mm) remains.[2]

The settlement has road access to Khyriv and from there further to Sambir and Lviv. The roads do not cross to Poland around Nyzhankovychi.
