Paso del Norte International Bridge
Paso del Norte International Bridge, International road bridge between El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
The Paso del Norte International Bridge is a road crossing over the Rio Grande connecting El Paso, Texas to Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. The structure has separate sections for vehicle traffic and pedestrian movement to handle the daily flow of people and cars between both sides.
The bridge opened in 1967 following the Chamizal Treaty, which resolved a long-standing border dispute between Mexico and the United States. This agreement marked a turning point in cross-border relations and established a new legal framework for the boundary.
This bridge serves as a daily crossing point where families reunite and workers commute between the two countries. The space reflects the shared life of border communities, with routines shaped by the needs of those who depend on it regularly.
Expect wait times during peak hours, especially during morning and evening commute times when workers cross regularly. Inspection stations on both sides check documents before allowing passage.
The bridge emerged from a diplomatic solution to a border problem that had troubled the region for generations. It demonstrated how two countries could build shared infrastructure to improve their mutual relationship.
