U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that there will be partial lane closures at the Stanton Street and Paso del Norte international bridges in El Paso, Texas, to facilitate the International U.S.-Mexico 10K Race scheduled for January 17. The closures will take place from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.
During the event, only the easternmost lane at the Stanton border crossing will be closed to accommodate runners. At the Paso del Norte crossing, all lanes will remain open except for the two easternmost lanes, which are reserved for race participants.
For those using Sentri or Global Entry at Paso del Norte, access will be unavailable during the closure period. Instead, travelers may use the Stanton/LERDO Sentri lane between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Travelers coming from Mexico who are not participating in the race are advised to use alternative routes such as the Bridge of the Americas and Ysleta ports of entry to avoid delays caused by traffic related to the event in downtown El Paso and Ciudad Juarez.
CBP is responsible for enforcing safe travel and trade across U.S. borders and employs more than 67,000 personnel nationwide. The agency works on land, air, and sea to enhance national security through innovation and collaboration.
