San Diego, CA, September 10, 2026 —
Northbound traffic approaching the San Ysidro, Otay Mesa, and Calexico West land ports of entry in the San Diego region is scheduled to observe a brief pause on Friday morning. This interruption in traffic flow is intended to commemorate the anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
The moment of silence is planned to take place precisely at 5:46 a.m. on Friday. During this time, northbound vehicles will be halted to allow for a period of reflection and remembrance.
The specific duration of this traffic pause was not provided. The ports of entry involved serve as significant gateways for cross-border travel and commerce between the United States and Mexico. San Ysidro is one of the busiest land border crossings in the world, while Otay Mesa and Calexico West are also critical points for trade and transit.
The commemoration is an annual observance held to honor the victims and first responders of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
