Tolls and access

Compare the crossings

Central El Paso crosses into Ciudad Juárez on three very different bridges: Paso del Norte downtown (24 hours; cars northbound only, pedestrians both ways), Stanton (the SENTRI commuter lane northbound; ordinary cars and pedestrians southbound), and the Bridge of the Americas (24 hours, all traffic, the only free bridge). Two freight rail bridges also cross here, 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.
