About this crossing
Paso Del Norte — the Santa Fe Street bridge — is the downtown crossing: it drops from Juárez's Avenida Juárez straight into downtown El Paso. It is the region's signature pedestrian bridge, with thousands of daily walkers — workers, students, shoppers — plus northbound vehicle lanes. Its rhythm is purely urban: pre-dawn labor peaks and after-school, after-office surges, with much of the southbound return flowing over the neighboring Stanton bridge.
