Del Río – Ciudad Acuña International Bridge

The four-lane bridge extends 620 meters across the Rio Grande, featuring two dedicated walkways for pedestrian border crossings between the United States and Mexico.

Constructed in 1930, the bridge underwent substantial reconstruction in 1987 to increase its structural capacity and accommodate growing cross-border traffic patterns.

The bridge functions as a meeting point where residents from both nations exchange traditions through regular markets and community celebrations throughout the year.

Travelers need valid identification documents and must pay crossing fees that differ for pedestrians, passenger vehicles, and commercial transportation crossing the border.

During September 2021, the bridge location became a temporary refuge for 15,000 migrants who gathered beneath its structure seeking entry into the United States.
