Federal officials marked the completion of commercial improvements on the truck inspection portion for the Otay Mesa Land Port of Entry Tuesday with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
The improvements, which included increasing the number of commercial truck processing lanes from nine to 16, were intended to expand processing capacity and improve sustainability.
The GSA just received $3.4 billion through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for 26 major modernization and construction projects at land ports of entry along the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada. The ribbon- cutting ceremony, held atop the new employee parking structure, was attended by legislators from the binational community, federal officials and civic leaders.
"Expanding and modernizing this port of entry will benefit the economy on both sides of the border, and I'm proud to have supported this vital project from its inception to completion," he added. This translates to importing $34 billion of goods in FY19, $32 billion in FY20 and more than $37 billion in FY21 at California's busiest commercial truck crossing.
