While working on the Southbound Side I thought the detour was well marked and controlled If they do the same this time it should be ok.

So is traffic backed up to and from the border, or just one direction?
Just got my Sentri pass this week, and now looks like I won't be able to do day trips now... I can't freaking believe it. I don't mind going to Otay
but I've never crossed there before.

From the photos and my experience Tuesday I'd say the big problem is mornings heading from Playas towards the border. People getting to the via
rapida that takes you across town are stuck in the same two lanes out of Playas all the way to the Smart & Final (the ramp up to the SY border
crossing). Eventually they will get serious about the work and it won't be re-opened intermittently. I think this is a water drainage road project
although I don't know how they will resolve it. The northbound side floods every storm.

It's a pleasure, although you do know what we saw today has nothing to do with tomorrow. Specific start times in Mexico are only suggestions.

I exited through Tecate this AM at around 10:00 AM and it was crowded....for this day and time anyway. Usually, it's about a five minute wait....today
was 40 min.. Even the inspector commented on the heavy traffic.

Alright, so I'm heading south bound manana. I guess the road is open and just fine - or maybe hell. I think I may just do Otay.

You'll be fine. Just go for it, always keeping in mind which way is South.

YES...
Here they are from just over a year ago (as posted on Baja Nomad Trip Reports trip to Las Pintas):
Part 1, Friday 9-17-10
A quick weekend adventure was in order from my birthday, so we headed south to Baja! Our destination for the evening was El Rosario's Baja Cactus
Motel.
We left California at the Otay Border about 6:30 pm, Friday afternoon...
The line going into Mexico moved quickly, and we did get a red light and pulled up to the customs officer standing between lanes, who quickly had us
continue on (only an ice chest in the truck bed).
Ahead from the border, 1.1 miles is Blvd. Industrial where a left turn is made to get to the Corredor 2000 (formerly Blvd. 2000) which is a fast, easy
freeway to the Ensenada highway, just south of Rosarito.
This is also the route to the Tecate Toll (Cuota) highway (Mex. 2-D).
About 5 miles down Blvd. Industrial is where the Corredor 2000 (to the right) and the Tecate Toll Highway (to the left) begin.
The sun was setting as we neared the end of the Corredor 2000 on the Pacific Coast.
The Corredor 2000 ends on the Free (Libre) Ensenada highway at Popotla, about 32 miles from the Otay Border. We went home via the Corredor 2000 and
the Tecate Free Highway (Mex. 2) to the Tecate Border (38 miles from Mex. 1 at Popotla).
South of Ensenada at Maneadero, we enjoyed some yummy carne asada tacos at Los Poblanos (red taco shop on the east side of the road). From Maneadero
to almost Ejido Uruapan (12 miles) they are widening the highway and there are a few miles of dirt and paved detours. The military checkpoint just
beyond Uruapan (north of Santo Tomas) and again just north of El Rosario both waved us through southbound, but did an inspection northbound.
We arrived in El Rosario at 11:30 pm Friday night and enjoyed a great night's sleep at Baja Cactus...
