Port of Otay Mesa — Updated Temporary Closure for Wide/Oversize Loads
CBP has issued an updated notice regarding a temporary closure at the Port of Otay Mesa affecting wide and oversize commercial shipments. Importers routing oversize cargo through Otay Mesa should confirm current lane availability and routing with their carriers given the operational disruption.
Our position is that Otay Mesa oversize closures create cascading appointment and bond-continuity issues, particularly for time-sensitive or perishable oversize freight — we are monitoring the port's status and flagging affected shipments in our tracking queue.
