Nogales-Mariposa Port of Entry
Border crossing between Mexico and the U.S.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nogales-Mariposa Port of Entry is a border crossing between Mexico and The United States. It was opened in 1973 to divert truck traffic away from the busy downtown Grand Avenue border crossing.[1] It connects Arizona State Route 189 directly with Mexican Federal Highway 15D. All commercial traffic entering the United States at Nogales now[when?] enters through the Mariposa port of entry.

Renovations
The port facilities underwent a nearly $250 million renovation project between 2009 and 2014 to accommodate increasing traffic and to support new equipment and procedures.[2] Renovation of roadways leading to the Mariposa Entry to reduce wait times for vehicles was begun in 2020 by the Arizona Department of Transportation, with expected completion in late 2021.[3]
