Bridge of the Americas, International bridge at Mexico-United States border, Texas.
The Bridge of the Americas consists of four distinct structures spanning the Rio Grande, connecting Ciudad Juárez in Chihuahua with El Paso in Texas.
The International Boundary and Water Commission completed the construction of this cross-border infrastructure in 1996, enhancing transportation between Mexico and the United States.
The bridge functions as a daily meeting point where residents of El Paso and Ciudad Juárez cross paths, representing the connection between both communities.
The passenger vehicle lanes remain open twenty-four hours daily, while commercial traffic operates from six in the morning until six in the evening.
This structure stands as the sole toll-free crossing among the four international bridges linking Ciudad Juárez and El Paso.
