Veterans at Los Tomates is Brownsville's full-service bridge: cars and walkers 6 a.m. to midnight, scheduled cargo, and the broadest live set in the region — General, SENTRI and Ready for cars, a pedestrian wait, and General and FAST for trucks.

Tolls

Southbound (into Mexico) — Cameron County bridge system (checked 29 August 2026): car, pickup or motorcycle US$5, or US$4.75 with the AVI account · trucks US$11–US$25 by axle count (AVI slightly less) · pedestrian US$1 · bicycle US$1 · bus or RV US$10 · extra axles US$3 passenger / US$3.50 commercial. AVI is the county's toll account; SENTRI, Ready and FAST are CBP inspection programs with their own live states above — four different things on one page.

The bridge

Eight lanes with a SENTRI lane, a FAST lane and sidewalks both sides, opened 1999, county-owned, connecting I-69E/US 77 with Mexico's Federal 101/180 toward the coast highways.

Quick answers

Is Veterans Bridge open 24 hours?

No — 6 a.m. to midnight for cars and pedestrians. For the small hours, Gateway and B&M downtown run around the clock. Cargo keeps its own, shorter schedule — a 9 p.m. weekday close and brief weekend windows — so a freight run needs the commercial hours, not the passenger ones.

Which Brownsville bridge should trucks use?

Veterans takes scheduled cargo — General and FAST — Monday to Saturday with a short Sunday window; oversize, overweight and transmigrante movements belong at Los Indios, and Gateway and B&M carry no trucks at all.

Does Veterans have SENTRI and FAST?

Yes, both — a SENTRI car wait and a FAST truck wait, each reported separately alongside General. The bridge carries dedicated SENTRI and FAST lanes. The county's AVI account is payment only and grants neither.
