State Route 11 (SR 11) is a proposed state route in San Diego County that is planned to connect SR 905 and SR 125 with the planned new U.S.–Mexico border crossing at Otay Mesa East.
Route description
SR 11 is planned 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.[1] There are plans 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.[4]
History
SR 11 was added to the state highway system in 1994,[2] and to the California Freeway and Expressway System in 1999.[5] 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.[1] 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. 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.[4] The first part of construction, connecting to SR 905, began construction on December 10, 2013, and is expected to be complete by 2015; the entire road could be complete by 2017.[6][7]
Exit list
The entire route is in San Diego, San Diego County.
