Tecate crossing


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.
