About this crossing
Gateway to the Americas — Laredo Bridge I — is downtown Laredo's walking bridge, open 24 hours, with pedestrian General and Ready waits reported around the clock. For drivers the picture is unsettled: at the last published check only the SENTRI car lane reported, with General and Ready closed — a snapshot, not a rule, and current car eligibility is not published. Drivers who need certainty use Juárez–Lincoln, the city's established general non-commercial bridge, or call the bridge system at 956-721-2070.
Walking across
Gateway is the Laredo corridor's established pedestrian crossing: twelve pedestrian lanes at maximum, with General and Ready walking waits published independently. Ready Lane takes RFID travel documents. The city lists cash and AVI at the booths — AVI is a toll account, not a CBP program.
Quick answers
Can any passenger car use Gateway to the Americas northbound?
Unconfirmed. At the last published check only the SENTRI lane carried a car wait, with General and Ready closed — but that snapshot is not a rule, and current car eligibility is not published. Drivers who need certainty use Juárez–Lincoln, open 24 hours to all non-commercial vehicles.
Can I walk across Laredo Bridge I?
Yes — this is downtown Laredo's established walking bridge, open 24 hours with pedestrian General and Ready waits reported separately. Check the live walking states above rather than the car cards.
How much is the Gateway toll?
Not published. The city's tariff lists amounts but states neither the collection direction nor the currency, so no dependable rate exists to quote. The booths take cash and AVI accounts; a rate change takes effect 1 January 2027.
