(A Major Change at the border)…Driving across the border will change completely.

At 8:00 Tuesday morning, the General Services Administration and the Customs and Border Protection will open ten new northbound lanes at the expanded port. Traffic will lead into West Second Street and Cesar Chavez Boulevard. Most of the traffic will use West Second Street, as expansion work is being conducted on Cesar Chavez. Once the ten new northbound lanes are open, the current port will close all of its traffic lanes. All vehicle border crossing to the North will be at the expanded port after 8:00 Tuesday morning. Mexican Customs will still maintain three traffic lanes going into Mexicali, for the time being.
