Tecate crossing

KRB - 8-11-2020 at 11:38 AM

Can anyone tell me the current north bound and south bound hours of operation for the Tecate boarder crossing?

Also what have been the wait times in recent weeks!

https://bwt.cbp.gov/details/09250401/POV says: Tecate Hours of Operation: 5 am-11 pm Date: 8/11/2020

That link is also the daily wait times... tody from 30 minutes at 5 am to 105 minutes at 10 am.

However, I think it is still at the modified times posted here: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-media-release/san-diego-c...

Tecate port of entry:

There will be new hours of operation implemented for both vehicle and pedestrian northbound and southbound crossings, from 5 a.m. – 2 p.m. (daily). There are no changes at this time to cargo/commercial ports of entry.

What lanes are available at Tecate?
Are there SENTRI or Readi lanes?

I don't believe so.

Only two All Cars lanes and a truck lane which they don't use for cars that I have ever seen.

I believe the modified hours are still in place. At Tecate that's 5am-2pm daily (both northbound and southbound).

My take--- southbound open 24/7. Northbound open 5AM to 2PM.
Wait times northbound longer than normal, about 90 minutes.
Advice-- get in line northbound by noon or you may be screwed!!

Tecate has never been a 24 hour border.
