This project constructs a new Border Protection Station west of the existing California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Blythe Border Station inside the California/Arizona state line. This project will specifically include five (5) vehicle inspection lanes, a vehicle inspection building (VIB) of approximately 4,040 GSF and four (4) truck inspection lanes and a truck inspection building (TIB) of approximately 2,860 GSF. There are three (3) canopy structures spanning the vehicle and the preliminary truck inspection lanes. Supporting site improvements will include transitioning to the new nine (9) lane Border Protection Station from westbound I-10 and then again back to I-10. The project will also require Department of Transportation (Caltrans) I-10 improvements, frontage road improvements, a new off/on ramp from westbound I-10 to East Hobsonway (west of the Border Protection Station), photovoltaic array, site utility improvements, storm detention basin, landscape, irrigation and signing and striping.
