Colombia – Solidarity International Bridge
Colombia – Solidarity International Bridge, Road bridge and toll facility in Laredo, United States.
Description
The Colombia – Solidarity International Bridge crosses the Rio Grande and links Laredo in Texas with the town of Colombia in the Mexican state of Nuevo León. The structure has separate lanes for trucks and passenger vehicles, with inspection stations and customs facilities on both banks.
History
The bridge opened in 1992 to ease traffic at other crossings in downtown Laredo. The structure was built during a period of growing trade between Texas and northern Mexico after the North American free trade agreement.
Culture
The crossing connects two communities woven together by trade and family ties on both sides of the Rio Grande. Trucks deliver goods between Texan and Mexican warehouses while commuters and visitors continue daily life across the border.
Practical
Trucks pass through the crossing every day of the week, while passenger vehicles may cross only from 8 AM until midnight. Waiting times depend on the hour and traffic volume, with early mornings often less crowded.
Did you know?
The bridge is the only crossing between Laredo in Texas and the Mexican state of Nuevo León. Drivers often wait in long queues on both sides while customs officers check documents and cargo.
