When I visited this place for the first time in 1981, there was no excavation yet. The dirt road from the village of Myto gently climbed to a grassy pass, and the further road was blocked by an old padlocked barrier. It was then the "friendship border" between the People's Republic of Poland and communist Czechoslovakia, and this friendship consisted in the fact that the border was not allowed to be crossed here, just like in nearby Zwardoń.
The very name "toll" means collecting a fee for crossing the border, which used to be possible.
After the political changes of 1989, the Zwardoń - Skalite railway crossing and the Zwardoń Myto road crossing were unblocked with time - after the asphalt road and buildings for border clearance were completed.
The existing gigantic trench on the PL-SK border was built later and has no equal on the entire border with Slovakia.
