SANDAG on Friday approved an agreement with the federal government on the design, construction and staffing
The Otay Mesa East border crossing, also known as Otay II, will be used for both vehicle and commercial crossings between the U.S. and Mexico. Crews work on the Mexican portion on July 3 in Tijuana. A major agreement needed to move forward on construction of San Diego’s newest border crossing has been reached after two years of negotiations between local officials and the federal government, officials said.
What will make this port of entry different is that vehicles will be charged a “dynamically priced toll” that will guarantee an average wait time to cross the border of no more than 20 to 30 minutes. The toll revenue will be evenly split with Mexico. The project is expected to generate $3.7 billion in revenue for each country over the next 40 years, officials said.that at the “heart of the negotiations” was seeking a commitment from CBP to staff the new port of entry.
