Texas Mexican Railway International Bridge
Texas Mexican Railway International Bridge, Railway bridge between Laredo, United States and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.
The Texas Mexican Railway International Bridge spans 1,275 feet across the Rio Grande, connecting the rail networks of the United States and Mexico.
The bridge opened in 1920 under Texas Mexican Railway ownership and later transitioned through various operators including Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México and Kansas City Southern.
The bridge serves as a physical representation of the commercial relationship between Mexico and the United States, facilitating trade between both nations.
The structure accommodates up to 26 trains daily, making it the most frequented railway crossing point along the United States-Mexico border.
A second parallel bridge, scheduled for completion in 2024, will create a dual-direction system to double the current crossing capacity.
