"This is great timing - with holiday shopping ramping up, as well as extended holiday work hours for our retailers and in light of horrendous southbound vehicle waits we're seeing now on a daily basis!", stated San Ysidro Improvement Corporation Board President Jennifer Goudeau.

Now you know! If you're thinking of crossing to San Diego but long lines are discouraging you, this reopening means that there will be faster lines during these aforementioned hours.
