Booth estimates may exclude approach traffic.
Four bridges link greater Brownsville with Matamoros. Gateway and B&M, both downtown, run around the clock for cars and walkers; Veterans at Los Tomates serves cars and pedestrians until midnight, with SENTRI, FAST and separate cargo hours; and the Free Trade bridge at Los Indios, west of the city, carries the county's oversize and transmigrante traffic. Freight trains cross separately on West Rail, with no traveller access.
The waits on this board cover traffic entering the United States, reported by CBP. Mexico-bound waits are not reported on this site yet.
In 2025 the Brownsville customs port — the four bridges plus rail — handled about 4.8 million US-bound personal vehicles and 307,000 trucks (port-level BTS data).
