The San Ysidro Land Port of Entry (LPOE) Phase 3 project aims to address the increasing traffic congestion issues in the world's busiest land port.
On the southbound side, the project included the expansion of I-5 from five to 10 lanes, the fabrication and installation of 10 new inspection booths, the construction of new primary and secondary vehicle inspection canopies, the establishment of a 562-car employee parking structure, and the development of access roadways connecting the LPOE to Mexico. On the northbound side, the project expanded the northbound primary vehicle inspection canopy and included the construction of eight additional lanes and installation of 15 new inspection booths.
Working at the world's busiest border crossing presents unique challenges, and the project team took meticulous steps to plan, prioritize, and execute the work while closely coordinating with US Customs and Border Protection to maintain security at all times.
Sustainable elements contribute to the overall environmental efficiency of the project. These features include photovoltaic panels and 450 geothermal wells, which supplement the existing HVAC system on the campus.
