Colombia vs Bridge II


Frijoles

Recommended Posts

Since we're driving up soon, I've been watching the cameras and wait times and Colombia is often clear sailing while Bridge II has long wait times almost all day. Is there something going on up there that's keeping people away from Colombia these days? Regarding safety, I mean. Or something else?

I crossed at Colombia on April 4th going into the states.  An unusual amount of trucks backed up onto the Highway before you get to Hwy 2.  Then a line of trucks about 3 miles long at Colombia.  About an extra hour to get past the trucks and then was the only auto and the Boarder agents said that the wait for trucks was about 6 hours.  Maybe different now that the threat to close the Boarder has past and the north bound freight has returned to normal?

ALL border crossings across the Mexican border are backed up periodically due to reassignment of agents. I've seen Colombia 40 minutes and 3.5 hours. Plan on waiting more than you've ever waited before everywhere... or maybe you'll get lucky. Watch online several times during the day to try and figure out if there is a better time.
