Nuevo Laredo Border Crossings
Nuevo Laredo is the most important commercial crossing on the Mexico–US border. Gateway to the Americas (Bridge 1) is the pedestrian and downtown crossing into Laredo; the Juárez-Lincoln bridge (Bridge 2) carries passenger vehicles; the Colombia bridge links the Monterrey corridor; and the World Trade Bridge (Bridge 3), trucks-only, channels a huge share of overland trade toward Interstate 35. Here you compare each bridge's live times — General, Ready Lane, SENTRI and FAST cargo — to separate passenger from freight; open any one for its best hour.
