Facilitates Construction of Inspection Booths and Canopies
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced a minor modification to the temporary route that detours southbound privately owned vehicle (POVs) lanes at the Calexico West Land Port of Entry (LPOE) beginning Friday, July 30, 2021, at 3:00 a.m., until June 1, 2022. The approach to the current temporary roadway will remain the same, at the intersection of West Second Street and Cesar Chavez Boulevard. However, vehicles will turn west (right) before returning to the temporary roadway. The modified temporary reroute is necessary to accommodate the construction of canopies and vehicle inspection booths on the permanent northbound POV roadway from Mexico.
During this construction phase, the temporary lane configuration will be the two easternmost lanes entering the existing southbound road, opening back to three lanes onto the bridge across the New River. The location of the return to U.S. lane will be accessible via the easternmost southbound lane just before the bridge.
