State Department Receives Application for New Otay Mesa East Port of Entry

The State Department has received an application to create a new port of entry east of Otay Mesa on the border between California and Mexico, it said in a notice. “A new port of entry in San Diego County could alleviate strain on the existing ports of entry and the local and regional transportation infrastructure,” the notice said. According to an application submitted by the California Department of Transportation, the Otay Mesa East port of entry would be located at the end of a 2.5-mile extension of current California State Road 11. Comments are due March 9.
