About

About this crossing

Laredo Bridge 1 — the Gateway to the Americas — connects the historic centers of Nuevo Laredo and Laredo. It is the system's pedestrian and downtown bridge: shoppers, workers and students walk it between the two plazas, alongside light vehicle lanes. Heavy cargo is banned — that is what the World Trade Bridge is for — so its line mirrors the commercial and school life of both downtowns rather than long-haul traffic.
