On February 21, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that it will temporarily close the Juárez-Lincoln Bridge, a significant border crossing between the United States and Mexico, for approximately four hours. This closure will impact northbound and southbound vehicle traffic as well as commercial buses. In light of this disruption, authorities have arranged for an alternate crossing to accommodate travelers during the closure period.

The closure is scheduled for the morning of Saturday, February 21, as part of efforts to facilitate an event that necessitates the temporary suspension of typical border activities. CBP often manages such closures around significant events, which can include celebrations, higher security requirements, or maintenance activities. This announcement serves to inform border crossers and ensure they can make necessary travel adjustments ahead of time.

Travelers wishing to cross during this time are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays. The implementation of an alternate crossing highlights the ongoing commitment of border agencies to maintain accessibility when significant disruptions occur. Travelers should stay informed about additional details or changes that might arise leading up to the closure date.
