Progreso International Bridge (Progreso) crossing, common questions

How long is the wait at Progreso right now?

The figure at the top of this page is the delay CBP itself reports for passenger vehicles in the general lanes, refreshed every few minutes while the page is open. CBP measures each lane group separately, so pedestrians and trucks can be queueing very differently from cars.

Do NEXUS, SENTRI and Ready lanes actually save time here?

Where CBP staffs them, yes, and this page shows their delay side by side with the general lanes so you can see the gap today rather than in general. When a trusted traveler lane shows no reading it is closed, and the general lane is the only option.

Why does the wait jump around so much?

CBP recalculates from vehicles actually processed, and opens or closes booths through the day. A crossing can go from ten minutes to forty in one update when a lane closes, which is why a number from an hour ago is not worth much.
