Construction is complete for the $3.3-million utility infrastructure extension project in preparation of construction of the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry located between the United States and Mexico from State Route 11. The project was awarded to Skanska by the San Diego Association of Governments and California Department of Transportation in July 2023.
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 950 linear feet of a 12-inch water main along Siempre Viva Road toward the future POE and State Route 11, including work for duel 10-inch fire services, duel 6-inch domestic water services and duel 2-inch irrigation services
- Installation of 300 linear feet of sewer for the County of San Diego Sewer featuring three new manholes
- Installation of 1,000 linear feet of joint trench utility, installed within the same joint trench, with extensive coordination across agencies to reduce the overall footprint required to install the conduits.
The team achieved substantial completion in May 2024.
