Project Description

South Bay Expressway is a first class express toll road extending the current SR-125 highway 10 miles from SR-54 in Spring Valley, through eastern Chula Vista, to SR-905 in Otay Mesa near the International Border. This new connection offers motorists a fast, reliable and scenic drive, while providing convenient access to Downtown, Sorrento Valley, I-8, I-15 North, Otay Mesa and Mexico. The northern portion of the project, the Gap and Connector, costs $140 million links South Bay Expressway to the existing freeway network, filling in a critical gap for San Diego motorists. The southern portion of the project, South Bay Expressway, a first class toll road, costs $635 million and privately financed by CTV.
