Why is the SR 125 South expansion necessary?
The expansion of SR 125 South to the Otay Mesa border crossing will complete an important missing link in the San Diego freeway system. The expansion of SR 125 has been part of the state’s planned freeway system since 1959. Polls continue to show the number one issue of concern for South County residents is traffic congestion. The SR 125 South expansion is an essential transportation linkage that will greatly reduce traffic congestion on roads and surface streets in Chula Vista and Bonita, as well as on I-5 and I-805.
