Here is a map showing the roads from the border.

 

Southbound:  Follow the signs and you will take the LEFT “Y” in the road off of International Boulevard, through the Colonia Lomas Mision, and on to Second Street.  You will, thereafter, flow easily onto the normal transition to the Cuota/Toll Road.

 

 

Northbound: If you take the Cuota/Toll Road north, you will be routed/forced to continue on Second Street toward central Tijuana.  No construction, but normal traffic in downtown.

 

 

Your other option is to take the “Old/Free Road – Mex 1” through downtown Tijuana to Rosarito.  It is in pretty good shape, (there are a couple of VERY LARGE potholes... so be very cautious...there is one that you have to actually go around...or you will lose your car in it!) with no current construction under way.  If you have been afraid to take this route, now may be the time to go this way… takes you right by the Plaza Rio.
