🚗 The New Viaducto Elevado: Now Just 5 Minutes from the Border to Playas de Tijuana

If you’ve been to Tijuana before, you know the biggest challenge wasn’t getting into Mexico — it was getting across the city.

That’s officially changing.

Thanks to the new Viaducto Elevado, guests staying at Tijuana Beach Pads can now reach Playas de Tijuana in approximately 5 minutes from the border — no more city traffic, no more long detours, no more stress.

Let’s break down what this means for you.

🌉 What Is the Viaducto Elevado?

The Viaducto Elevado is a brand-new elevated highway connecting the San Ysidro Port of Entry directly to Playas de Tijuana.

Instead of navigating through busy city streets, stoplights, and congestion, drivers now enter a controlled-access elevated roadway that runs parallel to the border and coastline — creating a fast, direct route to the beach.

For years, the drive could take 25–40 minutes during traffic.

Now? About 5 minutes.
