Tolls and access

Compare the crossings

Four road bridges link Laredo with Nuevo Laredo, each serving different traffic. Juárez–Lincoln downtown takes ordinary cars around the clock; Gateway to the Americas beside it is the 24-hour walking bridge (its car eligibility currently unconfirmed); Colombia Solidarity to the northwest mixes cars and cargo; and World Trade Bridge carries trucks only. None of the four publishes a verifiable toll — the city's tariff states neither direction nor currency. CPKC's rail bridge also crosses between the cities, with no traveller service.

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 Laredo port handled about 5.2 million US-bound personal vehicles, 3.0 million pedestrians and 2.9 million trucks (port-level BTS data, not split between the bridges).
