Mexicali crossing help

baja Steve - 11-14-2005 at 01:19 PM

I will be crossing into Baja at the east crossing towards the airport in Mexicali. Is there a immigration office close to the crossing? And how do you get there. Is it open on Saturdays and how early.
Thanks

There is an immigration office there at the new border crossing. I do not know if it is open on Saturday or not.

Mexicali East directions

Directions for using the new border crossing east of Calexico.

From El Centro: Go East on Interstate 8 to Highway 111 exit. Go South on Highway 111 to the third light (Hwy. 98 or Truck Route 7). Go East on Highway 98 for about 7 miles where the sign shows the border crossing. Make a right and proceed up and over the cloverleaf and into the border crossing (this is clearly marked). RV's are to follow the signs for passenger cars.

From Yuma: Take Highway 8 West and exit at Highway 98. Go West on Highway 98 for about 16 miles. At the traffic light, make a left and proceed up and over the cloverleaf and into the border crossing (this is clearly marked).

Mexicali East is only open from 6am to 10pm 7 days a week.

BTW John, Hghy 7 now goes to Interstate 8 right from the border (or to the border)
