Fed. 1D in El Morro, south of Rosarito Beach, taken from the Christ of the Sacred Heart monument. Fed. 1 parallels the highway on the right.

Fed. 1D starts in Baja California and is 98.17 km (61.00 mi) long. Between Avenida Mar Báltico (Baltic Sea Avenue) and the northern terminus, it is locally known as Segunda Benito Juárez. The rest of Fed. 1D is locally known as tolled Autopista Escenica Tijuana-Ensenada (Tijuana-Ensenada scenic highway). Fed. 1D is a high-speed alternative to the neighboring Fed. 1, as it is four lanes wide. Due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, it is more scenic than Fed. 1 between Tijuana and Ensenada.[citation needed]

There are three toll plazas along the highway that each collect 44 pesos per automobile. The first or northernmost toll plaza is located at km 5, within the city of Tijuana. The second toll plaza is located in Rosarito Beach, and the third and final toll plaza is located just a few kilometers north of Ensenada.[citation needed]

On December 19, 2013, several small earthquakes occurred within the region, causing a 300 metres (980 ft) section of Fed. 1D to collapse, falling over 100 metres (330 ft) into the ocean below at km 93.[1] On December 28, 2013, two cement trucks were driving along this stretch when the highway collapsed with no one hurt.[1] The road remain closed to all traffic in both directions for nearly a year while the highway was repaired. Traffic was re-routed along Fed. 1 (inland) during the Fed. 1D closure. The highway reopened to all traffic on December 16, 2014.[2]
