My husband had to make a short trip to Penasco on Friday, 4/9, and the wait getting into Mexico around 12:00 pm was 1.5 hours. Anyone else having a problem? I can't imagine how bad it was around 6, and I'm wondering if anyone was impacted since the border closes at 8.
Fridays and Sundays have been busy for travel to and from Penasco since mid Feb.
With the border closing at 8PM sharp there have been more than a few cars stuck unable to cross until 6AM the next day.
Labor day Fri 2020 there was a 2 mile long line unable to cross when the gate was closed at 8PM and on Mon there was a big line
stuck in Mexico until the next day.
My rule is to leave Phx by 7AM going south on a Friday and if I have to leave on a Sunday or Monday on a holiday, I'm heading north at 6-7AM.
That minimizes the 2+ hour waits. Big lines on Friday and Sunday, It's been like this for many years.
