See the hour-by-hour breakdownAbout this crossing
The Pharr–Reynosa International Bridge is the Valley's full-service port: the only one in the McAllen–Reynosa system that pairs large-scale cargo — a key gateway for Mexican avocados and fresh produce, on Standard and FAST lanes — with passenger traffic on General, Ready Lane and SENTRI lanes. It ties Reynosa's bypass to the US-281 corridor. For cars it usually runs calmer than Hidalgo; for trucks it simply is the Valley's gate.
