Frijoles Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 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? http://www.ci.laredo.tx.us/bridgesys/cameras/bridge4cam.html https://apps.cbp.gov/bwt/mobile.asp?action=n&pn=2304 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masongringo Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I wonder if some are putting off cross border trips in view of all the sensationalized news about the border situation. We will be crossing at Santa Teresa in a couple months and hope things will settle down by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
