Good point. And it has to be - I suspect - a certain bank, not just any bank like HSBC. Not too many Nomads cross by foot, I guess...

ped bridge over the TJ River


There will be... Congress just funded the rest of the border-area reconstruction, which includes the rest of the lanes NB at SY, the repointing of I-5 to connect without that stupid double-hairpin turn, new SB inspection lanes on that new part of I-5, and a new pedestrian crossing at Virginia Ave. (You can see the gate Mexico built for it from the US side.)

It's supposed to be done in 2015 or early 2016. Hands up, all those who believe those numbers. :lol:

So all those nice SB El Chap lanes have been built for nothing. Wouldn't be the first time.
