A dot is an hour with no readings: the crossing was closed or CBP posted no wait. A closed lane counts as unknown, not as zero, so it never makes a crossing look faster than it is.

Common questions Pharr–Reynosa International Bridge

How long is the truck wait at the Pharr–Reynosa International Bridge right now?

At CBP’s last reading (Oct 29, 8:00 PM CDT), the standard commercial lanes were at 2 min and FAST was at 1 min. The box at the top refreshes from CBP when you open this page.

What’s the best time to cross?

Over the last 30 days, the wait has usually been shortest on Sunday at 3 PM and longest on Friday at 2 PM. The heat map above shows every hour.

When are the commercial lanes open?

6 am to Midnight, local time. Up to 7 commercial lanes.

What is the FAST lane?

FAST (Free and Secure Trade) is CBP’s program for pre-approved carriers, drivers and importers, with lanes of its own. Here, over the last 30 days, FAST averaged 17 min against 21 min in the standard lanes.

A second source: Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s Border Crossing Information System measures truck crossing times with roadside readers at some ports in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. It measures something different from the wait CBP posts, so the two are worth comparing.

About these numbers

Copied Oct 29, 2026, 9:47 PM Michigan time

Officers at each port of entry post the commercial lanes’ wait about once an hour to CBP’s Border Wait Times system. A small Cloudflare Worker reads it every half hour and keeps each reading once; the last-30-days averages come from that record. The averages from the year before are CBP’s own. FAST lanes are for carriers enrolled in CBP’s FAST program.

Times are the crossing’s local time. A closed lane or a pending reading counts as unknown, never as zero. The board has every crossing right now and how it all works, and the averages are a CSV download. Esta página en español.
