About this corridor

The Tecate corridor is a single road crossing linking Tecate, California with Tecate, Baja California, in the hills between the San Diego and Calexico corridors. The crossing closes overnight — 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. for cars and pedestrians, weekday working hours for cargo — so late drivers use San Ysidro or Otay Mesa instead.

The waits on this board cover traffic entering the United States, reported by CBP. Mexico-bound waits are not reported on this site yet.

In 2025 the port handled about 976,000 US-bound personal vehicles and 1.1 million pedestrians (port-level BTS data).
