State Route 11 (SR 11) is a state highway in San Diego County, California that is planned to connect SR 905 and SR 125 in Otay Mesa with the proposed U.S.–Mexico border crossing at Otay Mesa East. Planning for the road began in the 1990s, and construction started in 2013. The portion from SR 905 to Enrico Fermi Drive was completed in 2016. There are plans for an interchange at Siempre Viva Road, as well as converting the highway to a toll road once the entire route is completed.

Route description[]

SR 11 is proposed to be a toll facility that will serve a new border crossing east of Otay Mesa,[3] the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry. It will connect SR 905 and SR 125 to the Corredor Tijuana-Rosarito 2000 corridor that connects to Mexican Federal Highway 2D and Mexican Federal Highway 2 to Tecate, and Mexican Federal Highway 1D to Ensenada.[4]

As of 2016, the portion from SR 905 to Enrico Fermi Drive is completed.[1] On that segment, plans were to construct two interchanges at Enrico Fermi Drive and Siempre Viva Road as the proposed route curves to the southeast before reaching the border crossing.[5] SR 11 will operate as a toll road once the entire route is completed.[1]

History[]

SR 11 was re-added to the state highway system in 1994.[2] Four years later, several parties, including District 11 of Caltrans, the City and County of San Diego, the San Diego Association of Governments, and Tijuana were signatories to a Letter of Intent to build the border crossing.[6] The route was added to the California Freeway and Expressway System in 1999.[7] In 2009, Senate Bill 1486 was passed, and the presidential permit in 2008 allowed for the border crossing to be constructed. By one year later, several alternatives were considered, in terms of constructing some or even none of the interchanges, or removing the proposed toll on the route.[4] State funding is allocated to cover much of the $400 million cost, which does not include the port of entry at another $350 million. The California Transportation Commission endorsed the project in January 2012,[5] and approved the proposed freeway route that December.[6]

Plans are to construct the road in three stages: the interchange with SR 905 and the road to Enrico Fermi Drive, continuing the construction to the commercial vehicle facility, and building the border crossing itself.[5] The first part of construction—connecting to SR 905—started on December 10, 2013, and was completed on March 19, 2016. The entire road was completed in 2017. Tolls are planned for the road in order to keep delays for crossing the border low, and this would vary depending on the current traffic at the other crossings in the area. The funds would go to both countries.[1][8][9] Ramps from SR 11 westbound and eastbound to SR 125 northbound were completed on November 30, 2016, at a cost of over $21 million.[10]

The second phase, connecting to the future Otay Mesa East Port of Entry, began construction in August 2019 and is scheduled to be completed in late 2021.[11] Construction of the port of entry is scheduled to begin in 2022 and finish in 2024.[12]
