About this crossing
The Ysleta–Zaragoza bridge links southeast Ciudad Juárez with El Paso's Ysleta district near Loop 375. It is the workhorse of the city's east side: General, Ready Lane and SENTRI vehicle lanes, a pedestrian crossing, and a significant commercial operation serving the Juárez industrial parks. If you live in the southeastern neighborhoods or shop on El Paso's east side, it usually beats driving across town to the free bridge.
