About this corridor

The Columbus corridor links Columbus, New Mexico with Puerto Palomas, Chihuahua, about 30 miles south of Deming. Cars and pedestrians cross around the clock; cargo keeps weekday business hours.

The waits on this board cover traffic entering the United States, reported by CBP. Mexico-bound waits are not reported on this site yet.

In 2025 the Columbus customs port — whose federal counts include Antelope Wells — handled about 438,000 US-bound personal vehicles (port-level BTS data).
