New Sentri lane directions mexicali west
I heard new Sentri lane opened in July, but can someone chime in on whether it’s easy, difficult or fool proof to find ? I was told it’s no
longer next to the standard lanes like before This is for Calexico west crossing. Any info is greatly appreciated. Seems some maps are updated
others are not

It's super easy!
If coming north on the 5, turn left on Czda. James W. Stone. Then, continue to Boulevard de los Presidentes and make a right. Continue north into the
Sentri lanes!
Probably the easiest Sentri lanes to get into! Mexicali east is easy too...

Hit the border fence about half way BETWEEN east and west crossing, turn west and stay in the left lane, follow medical lane and you are in the sentri
lanes. The left lane is to the left of the double yellow lines, it is a one way street. The right lanes are all traffic so you will be next to the
regular lanes.

Those sound like the directions to the old sentri lane, Pacifico gave directions that are the same as my last experience. But if you end up at the old
Sentri crossing there are signs directing you to the new sentri gate.
The last time I went north and used the Sentri gate I used google maps on my phone and it directed right to the Sentri lane.

There is construction on the new Mexican approach. Currently the Sentri entrance has reverted back to the original lanes along the border fence, left
of the regular lanes.
Valid as of our last crossing on Oct 17.

Didn't know about the new construction so Bajazly is correct (of course). I'm not heading up until mid December so it will probably change by then.
