Proposed changes

This section lists crossings of the US-Mexico Border that are in the planning or construction phases.

United States Port of Entry	United States Road/Highway	City and State	Mexican Port of Entry	Mexican Road/Highway	City and State	Status
Otay Mesa East	SR 11	East Otay Mesa, California	Mesa de Otay II		Tijuana, Baja California	This is expected to be the first toll-based border crossing on the US-Mexico border west of Texas. It is planned to open in 2017
Tornillo, TX	FM 3380	Tornillo, Texas	Guadalupe		Guadalupe, Chihuahua	The Tornillo Port of Entry opened November 17, 2014. At that time, the Fabens Port of Entry was closed. Traffic continued to use the Fabens-Caseta International Bridge while construction proceeded on the new 6-lane Tornillo-Guadalupe International Bridge, and Mexico continued to use the small Caseta border station.

Closed crossings

This transport-related list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

This table includes only those roads where the governments of either the US or Mexico once had Customs or Immigration services.

Also included are places where certain legitimate vehiclular or vessel traffic has been permitted to cross the border in recent years.

United States port of entry	City, State	Mexico port of entry	City, State	Notes
San Ysidro - Virginia Avenue	San Ysidro, San Diego, California	El Chaparral	Tijuana, Baja California	For many years, all trucks entering the U.S. from Tijuana were inspected at this border crossing just west of the Interstate 5 crossing. It closed in 1984 when the Otay Mesa Port of Entry was completed, and where all truck traffic from Tijuana is now inspected.
Campo	Campo, California	Encinal	Encinal, Baja California	Once a popular crossing for tourists in the early 1900s, this crossing was permanently closed during World War II
San Miguel Gate	Sells, Arizona	El Bajío	El Bajío, Sonora	This crossing, also known also as "the Gate" has never been a legal border crossing for most people. Nomadic Native Americans are permitted use this gate to traverse their land on both sides of the border.
Lochiel	Lochiel, Arizona	Santa Cruz	Santa Cruz de Noria, Sonora	Station of Nogales which closed around 1980 due to lack of traffic. Both border inspection buildings remain.
Anapra	Sunland Park, New Mexico	Anapra	Anapra, Chihuahua	Border crossing was built in 1971 with funds from the NM and Juárez governments, with the vision of creating economic development by luring traffic from the busy El Paso crossings. However, with pressure by politicians from Texas who stood to lose liquor tax revenue, the US government refused to staff it. It is unclear if the port ever officially opened. The Mexican federal inspection canopy remains.
Cordova	El Paso, Texas	Córdova	Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua	When the waters of an 1897 Rio Grande flood receded, the river was found to have changed course, resulting in 386 acres of Mexican territory called "Córdova Island" situated north of the river. Boundary markers and a fence were eventually deployed. In 1959, a border crossing opened on the East side of the island. In 1963, Presidents Kennedy and Ordaz signed a treaty that settled the Chamizal dispute which redistributed land in the area between the US and Mexico. The location where the Córdova crossing was situated (which used to be the only Texas-Mexico border crossing not at the Rio Grande) now lies on Mexican land, on the campus of the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez. The crossing closed in 1967 when the new Bridge of the Americas crossing opened, where the new Rio Grande channel and new boundary was established.
Fabens	Fabens, Texas	Caseta	Caseta, Chihuahua	Fabens was a small border crossing ten miles east of El Paso, Texas. It opened in 1938, and closed on November 17, 2014, when the new Tornillo Port of Entry opened nearby. The Fabens-Caseta International Bridge was too small to handle commercial traffic, and local business interests pressed for an alternate route from the busy commercial crossings in El Paso.
Heath Canyon	Heath Canyon, Texas	La Linda	La Linda, Coahuila	La Linda International Bridge. Bridge crossing was closed in 1989, but the barricaded bridge remains. Mexico had a border inspection station but the US did not.
San Ygnacio	San Ygnacio, Texas	San Ignacio	San Ignacio, Tamaulipas	A motor boat served as a passenger ferry during the 1950s and 1960s. The US Customs Service operated a border inspection station during those years.
Zapata	Zapata, Texas	Guerrero	Guerrero, Tamaulipas	Suspension toll bridge was opened in 1931. In 1954, Falcon Dam was completed, and the rising waters left the old town of Zapata, along with the US Customs station and the bridge itself at the bottom of the Falcon International Reservoir. A new town center was constructed on higher ground outside town.
Mercedes	Mercedes, Texas	Río Rico	Río Rico, Tamaulipas	The Thayer Bridge (also called the Río Rico Bridge) was built in 1928 and opened up the Mexican border town of Río Rico as a tourist destination during prohibition with bars and even a casino. The crossing was located about two miles (3.2 km) downstream from where the Progreso bridge would later be built. The bridge was destroyed by a flood in 1941. After its destruction, temporary access was provided by ferry and pontoon bridge, but all service had ended by 1946. In 1967, it was discovered that Rio Rico had actually been located on US soil all along, and in 1970, the land was officially ceded to Mexico. Approximately 1000 people who provided evidence they were born in Río Rico over the years were given US citizenship.
