I know, it's crazy not to utilize the San Ysidro crossing as it was designed to be used. I wonder if they are going to shut down some San Ysidro lanes
so they have staff for the new crossing. I wouldn't be surprised.

Plus, they've closed down the new PedWest pedestrian crossing. Many times people wait in line for a couple of hours to walk across the East Crossing.

Will the "Century 2000" toll road be the most direct route from the coast to the new crossing?

A San Diego radio news report I just heard said it's "just east" of the current Otay crossing.

YES, I think so! It sure is to the the other Otay crossing... or Tecate from the Rosarito to Cantamar coast.
The 'Corredor 2000' is NOT a toll road. Only the 2-D to Tecate or the 1-D to Ensenada are, in that area of Baja. Both have free
alternate roads (no D in the highway name). Corredor (formerly Blvd.) 2000 is not always labeled correctly on maps... It is BC #201. Where it meets,
and then you use the 2-D on to Otay Border, are no tolls:
Here is the Corredor 2000 on the 2010 AAA Map:

I don't know what you're talking about, bl 2000 off the toll road they collect a toll to travel said road....sounds like a toll road to me. what do
the playas have to do with anything?

Dk,
There are parts of bl 2000 that cannot be driven w/o paying a toll. So that means those parts of bl 2000 are functionally a toll road

The toll that you pay upon entering Corredor 2000 is after driving that section of 1-D. You are paying for 1-D miles driven. Playas Tijuana is further
north. If you kept going north on 1-D, then you would pay a toll at that booth.
Highway 2-D has a similar situation at El Hongo (east of Tecate). You pay for miles driven on 2-D if you choose to exit the toll road at El Hongo.
I did find a way to cheat the system though. I stopped 100m before the toll and did a U-turn. Then went through the toll booth in reverse. They had to
pay me the full amount of the toll!

thats not true, the only toll collected at popotla is for traveling north on blvd 2000, paying to drive on 1-D happens at the rosarito toll booth, 4
miles up the road.

Thank you Maderita... I am not sure why this was hard to understand... but when someone else explains it, that helps.
Don Pisto, with all due respect, the toll collected going northbound, when you leave Hwy. 1-D, was for the last few miles of 1-D... not for any of the
Corredor 2000. You can enter 2000 from the free road at that location, too... and there is no toll gate. Also, southbound from 2-D near Otay is no
toll gate. A toll for only going north and only from using the other toll road, would be a bit unfair, yes?
Naturally, things may change... if they do, please inform us here!
Goat, since you don't go to Mexico (let's see the photos), I am wondering how you experienced driving the Corredor 2000? Just what part is toll...?
Tell us where the toll gate is on the 201 other than if you are coming off the 1-D northbound... which Maderita and I tried to explain.

might as well throw in my 2 cents
We left Tecate, westbound on the toll road to access the SENTRI at Otay Mesa as the Tecate crossing was backed up further than we had ever seen it,
all the way to McDonalds.
We sailed along getting close to the Otay exit thinking we avoided a toll. Then within a quarter mile of the exit up pops a toll booth. They relieved
us of almost $7.00 American.
Yep it was a toll road alright.
Still we were hours ahead of where we would have been at Tecate. Sentri at Otay 10 minutes on a Thursday mid-afternoon.

Blvd 2000 is not a tool road if you get on it from the free road!
