About this crossing

The Raul Hector Castro crossing links Douglas, Arizona with Agua Prieta, Sonora — open 24 hours at port level for cars and pedestrians, with a commercial operation whose detailed hours need direct confirmation. A dedicated commercial port, West Douglas, is under construction west of the city; trucks move there only after it is finished.

Quick answers

Is the Douglas passenger crossing open 24 hours?

The port is listed as open 24 hours, but individual lanes can close within those hours. Cargo has a separate schedule. Check the current lane status and the cargo hours above before travelling.

What are Douglas cargo hours on Saturday?

Neither CBP nor the port publishes a Saturday cargo schedule for Douglas, and the values that circulate disagree with each other. Call the port to confirm before planning a weekend shipment.

Is the new West Douglas commercial port open?

No — it is an active construction site with no border service. GSA began building in August 2025 and anticipates substantial completion in May 2029, with commercial inspection moving there only after completion.

SENTRI and Ready Lane

CBP reports General and SENTRI car waits and includes Ready Lane status for cars and pedestrians. Check the current lane status above before choosing a lane.

Cattle and animal shipments

Douglas reopened for cattle imports from Mexico on 24 August 2026 — the only southern border port open for livestock imports at that notice. It is a species- and direction-specific animal-health rule that changes quickly; verify with APHIS on the day.

The port

The port at 15 Pan American Avenue was built in 1933 and expanded in 1993. GSA’s modernization timeline runs from a winter 2026 design-build award to substantial completion in summer 2031. Construction has not started. The City of Douglas runs a traffic camera it labels a limited trial that may go offline.

Busy times

In 2025 the Douglas port handled about 1.5 million US-bound personal vehicles, 1.0 million pedestrians and 26,000 trucks (port-level BTS counts). May led for cars.
