SAN DIEGO - U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that it has reached agreement with an investor group to clear the way for construction of the nation's first cross-border airport terminal connecting San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico.

The agreement requires the investor group to pay the salaries of U.S. border inspectors and the cost of inspection facilities on a pedestrian bridge from Tijuana's existing airport into the United States, Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske said during a brief interview on a visit to San Diego. He said he expects construction to begin on the U.S. side next month.

Construction has already begun on the Mexican side at Tijuana International Airport.
