Further to our update on May 24, 2017, Buckland participated in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) update call on May 23, 2017. The following information was shared by the CBP:
- World Trade Bridge is open to receive empty trucks and trailers on both sides of the border. This should alleviate approximately 20% of the loads at the Columbia Bridge.
- Colombia Bridge will remain open for extended hours as a result of a coordinated effort between Mexican Customs and U.S. Customs. Currently, there is not a definitive time for the extended hours being offered at the Columbia Bridge. The Bridge is opening at 7:00 am CST.
- As of May 24, 2017 Mexican Customs have made the system changes required to clear Laredo entries at the three additional ports.
- Mexican Customs has enabled 3 additional ports (listed below) to electronically receive Laredo Entries (port 240)
- Eagle Pass/Piedras Negras (Buckland is currently supporting crossings at this bridge)
