Overview

• Long waits persist on Ruta 7 at the Cristo Redentor–Los Libertadores corridor, with queues especially affecting freight after the weekend weather closure.
• Gendarmería maintains intermittent 30–60 minute holds at Las Cuevas and Uspallata to avoid overloading the Chilean complex.
• Travelers and truckers reported limited Chilean customs and migration staffing, and authorities on that side reinforced attention for trucks around midday Wednesday.
• Official coordination data show 4,842 people exited to Chile on Tuesday, highlighting the elevated flow through the crossing.
• Authorities announced a preventive closure in both directions from 22:00 Thursday, with barriers closing in Uspallata at 20:00 due to forecast instability and snow, and they advise allowing extra time and following official updates.
