Everybody I know crossed yesterday or they are staying home. I've been checking the traffic and we may head to TJ for dinner this evening. fandango - 9-23-2017 at 12:22 PM
1230pm, still no line not mexico at otay. AND no line in the regular lane or the ready lane leaving Mexico at otay. Unreal!!
Dinner In Tj, do it. Let us know how you get back.SFandH - 9-23-2017 at 02:48 PM
According to the Radio Latina website at San Ysidro northbound there are 15 cars in the regular lanes and zero in the Ready lanes. Otay has 5 and 5.
The busiest border land crossing in the world, so they say.
Amazing!
Carmegeddon is in process. Southbound at San Ysidro is closed. I wonder what southbound at Otay is like.

4pm. No line to enter Mexico at otay. There hasn't been a delay since I started checking at 7 this morning.fandango - 9-23-2017 at 03:59 PM
4pm. No wait in the ready lane northbound at otay.
About 25-30 cars in 1 line in the regular lane northbound at otay.gsbotanico - 9-24-2017 at 02:01 PM
Looks like most are avoiding crossing the border with the southbound San Ysidro closure. I usually go to Mexico early on Monday morning crossing at
San Ysidro. This is a working day for a lot of people. I will be going on Tuesday morning to avoid any backup at Otay on Monday before the noon
reopening.
The closure was certainly widely publicized. It seems to have been effective. Ateo - 9-24-2017 at 06:34 PM
News says all will re-open tonight at Midnight.bajaguy - 9-24-2017 at 06:59 PM
According to some posts on Talk Baja it is open nowDavid K - 9-25-2017 at 08:24 AM
On the morning news here in San Diego, it was just reported that the border into Tijuana opened 12 hours ahead of schedule and there was no
"Carmageddon" at Otay.BajaNaranja - 9-25-2017 at 09:55 AM
Kudos to all involved who got the word out, and who avoided the border during the reconfiguration.
Interested in seeing some pics of what San Ysidro crossing looks like now - hopefully the reduced lanes over the coming months aren't too much of a
pinch point, until completion.
