The number of pedestrian inspection booths entering the United States at the Otay Mesa Land Port of Entry has doubled thanks to a project completed Monday by the U.S. General Services Administration.
The project increased the number of pedestrian inspection booths from six to 12 and was part of the larger $134 million port modernization and expansion project."The expansion project allowed GSA to address long pedestrian wait times typical for undersized facilities with insufficient processing capacity," said Scott Shin, GSA Region 9 LPOE project executive.
By increasing pedestrian inspection capacity, port leaders said the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection will be able to"operate more inspection booths, facilitate pedestrian processing, and help ease historically long border crossing wait times." "The completion of this project marks a transformative milestone and symbolizes the collaborative efforts and vision of all involved," said Rosa Hernandez, port director for the Otay Mesa Land Port of Entry."Our aim is to facilitate lawful trade and travel and improve the daily life of thousands from the region who cross every day."
