Skanska Completes Port of Entry Utility Infrastructure Project

Skanska has completed the $3.3-million utility infrastructure extension project to prepare the site for the construction of the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry between the U.S. and Mexico from State Route 11. The project was awarded to Skanska by the San Diego Association of Governments and California Department of Transportation last July.

The project extended sanitary sewer systems in the area and water services for the Otay Water District, along with related services for San Diego Gas & Electric, AT&T and COX Communications, to accommodate all future points of entry. The project scope included installation of water main, sewer and joint trench utility infrastructure, as well as a multi-use connecter road along Siempre Viva Road for U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents.

“We are happy to announce the completion of the utilities extension for the future Otay Mesa Port of Entry, laying the groundwork to enhance mobility and air quality between the United States and Mexico within the San Diego port region,” said Elliott Adams, senior project engineer of Skanska’s West Coast civil operations. “This project relied on seamless coordination among multiple agencies, and we’re proud to have delivered the project successfully.”
