It was confusing Monday the 2nd when we crossed. We hung to the far left and went down to the Avenue of heroes couple of right turns, bridge over the river, left towards Caliente and voila, it appeared. Three minute wait.

We crossed yesterday and the Sentri lanes are open! Yes there are a couple lanes to the left of the regular Sentri lanes but they are separated from the general lanes as shown in your photo!

Went through yesterday (Jan. 4th) at about 10:00am. Got to the Sentri lanes the usual way. At the pedestrian overpass the Sentri lanes were diverter to the left as a single lane. Just before the electronic card readers it split into 6 Sentri lanes. Took about 6 minutes total!

Ken, SENTRI is great. Be aware that everyone in the vehicle must have one, as well as the vehicle itself. You also need to follow some special rules about cargo. Basically, they want to be able to ensure you are not carrying anything with a quick glance, or off to secondary you go.
