Tijuana Airport Bridge

 The long awaited bridge to walk from parking in the US to the Tijuana airport has been built. It is expected that the customs and immigration facilities will open by the end of 2015. The enclosed bridge is 390 feet long and has divided north/south corridors. Ticketed passengers will be able to walk across between the United States and Mexico, avoiding lines at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa ports of entry.

The bridge was built using private funds and cost an estimated $120-million USD. The developer, Otay Tijuana Venture, LLC, is calling the project “Cross Border Xpress.”  A fee for using the bridge has not been released but previous estimates run as low as $13 USD up to $20 USD, per passenger.

Keep Tijuana Tasty

For some time Tijuana has been a growing influence in the gastronomy scene. See the post from June 2014 as a reminder of the many visits by Anthony Bordain to take in the Tijuana food scene.

Now you can get some of the best food in the city next time you go shopping or see a movie. FoodGarden Market is now open at the south end of Plaza Rio near Caliente and under Cinépolis. The entrance is from the parking lot and is easy to miss.

Vendors have an array of fresh foods, drinks, baked goods, fruits, vegetables, nuts and cheeses.
