Mendoza (cross-Andes transport) |
5 Sep 2023 - The international pass between Mendoza and the Chilean ports of San Antonio and Valparaiso has seen several closures due to weather and road conditions. Due to current snow forecasted, authorities have closed the border complex until Sept 10, 2023. Freight routed via the pass will be delayed from closures and congestion backlogs that will increase both overall transit times and unplanned charges for late/early arrival costs, storage, and demurrage/detention. |
