Otay Mesa East Port Of Entry
In July 2014, Mexican Undersecretary of Infrastructure of the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation Raúl Murrieta Cummings and the Secretary of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Brian P. Kelly, signed a memorandum of understanding to build and put the new port of entry into operation. It was expected to be ready as early as 2017, and provide 27 northbound lanes from Tijuana to San Diego and 8 southbound lanes. The cost is estimated to be 2 billion Mexican pesos (about 99 million US dollars).
Construction began at the initial ground breaking in August 2022, after long delays. Although earlier estimates suggested the project would be completed by late 2024, more recent estimates suggest construction may not be complete until 2026.
