How changes at the San Luis Port of Entry are impacting both sides of the border

SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA) - People on both sides of the border are sharing their thoughts on how the changes at the San Luis Port of Entry is impacting them.

Last month, the San Luis Port of Entry opened eight lanes, two for sentry travelers and six for all traffic, and there will be eight more lanes when construction finishes.

The new border crossing will be at Second Street in San Luis, Mexico and will come in to the U.S. through William Brooks Avenue and Urtuzuastegui Street.

When we spoke with San Luis, Arizona Mayor Nieves Riedel last month, she says the new access will boost the local businesses.

The construction of the port of entry is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2029.

Reporter Adrik Vargas will have local reaction later this evening.
