Mexicali East gate for Sentri Pass


Hi:
What is the best way to get into the Sentri Pass lane at Mexicali East? Last time we tried it we got routed over the bridge and then, after about a half hour of that BS, we got into the Sentri lane....is there an easier and faster way to do that?

It depends on time of day and traffic. If no traffic you would make your usual left turn from the Blvd but so not get into the normal lanes heading to the bridge instead you have to flip a U and go into the what appears to be the inbound lanes to Mex, that is on the W side of the island. the far right hand lane in in fact the beginning of the Sentri lane follow that all the way up and past the bridge.

Now if there is traffic on the Blvd backed up wanting to turn left just go past all the cars make your U but I always tell the cop directing traffic that you are going to sentri. Never have had a problem with this...

Just remember the sentri lane is not part of regular lanes going to the border... You must be on the west side of the island..

Buena Surete!!!

I have started taking the airport road through Nuevo Mexicalli and enter from the east in stead of the west.

If you turn right at the first traffic light by the OXXO and stay on that road and follow it to the Airport/Gate II, you will find it very easy
