Sasabe border crossing Active crossing, no reported wait

What crosses here

Sasabe links Sasabe, Arizona with El Sásabe, Sonora, at the end of SR 286 — one of the state’s least-used crossings, in ADOT’s description. It is an active port for cars, pedestrians and commercial traffic, but CBP does not include Sasabe in its public wait-time feed, so no live wait exists for it in either direction.

Operating hours require direct confirmation with the port — no current schedule is verified.

The port

The inspection station was built in 1937, among the first purpose-built land ports, and was restored in a preservation project begun in September 2022. In 2025 it recorded about 19,700 US-bound personal vehicles and 443 pedestrians for the whole year (port-level BTS counts).

Quick answers

Is Sasabe still open?

Yes — Arizona’s port inventory lists it as an active crossing for cars, pedestrians and commercial traffic. It simply has no CBP wait-time record, so no live number exists to show. Absence from the feed is not a closure.

What hours is Sasabe open?

They require direct confirmation with the port — no current schedule is verified, and the state inventory’s row is stale. Call before making the drive; the nearest crossings with verified published hours are Lukeville and the Nogales ports.

Can pedestrians cross at Sasabe?

Yes, as far as the state's records go — ADOT's port inventory lists pedestrian traffic alongside cars and commercial vehicles. No walking wait is published, and hours need direct confirmation with the port before you set out.
