About this crossing
Calexico West is the historic downtown crossing of the Mexicali border: it lands directly in central Calexico, California. It concentrates the pedestrian flow of both downtowns — shops, offices and clinics on each side — alongside General, Ready Lane and SENTRI vehicle lanes. Because the port sits inside the urban grid, the vehicle queue forms along city streets, so it pays to compare its wait with Calexico East before picking a route across.
