About this crossing

World Trade Bridge is trucks only — the City of Laredo designates Bridge IV exclusively commercial, with 19 commercial lanes at maximum. Cars and pedestrians use the downtown bridges. Its precise daily schedule is not published: the city's listed values are office hours, and CBP's record carries only a general 7 a.m.–midnight label — carriers confirm directly.

The measurement

CBP's RFID wait here runs from the Mexican toll booth to the entry of U.S. primary — it can omit the queue before the toll booth, and it is a different span from Colombia's exit-of-primary measurement. Compare the two bridges by schedule and eligibility first.

Payments and plans

The city lists commercial AVI and prepaid accounts at World Trade — toll products, not CBP programs — and a toll increase takes effect 1 January 2027. A 2024 permit authorizes two added lanes and a second span, unbuilt and conditional.

Quick answers

Can passenger cars use World Trade Bridge?

No — the City of Laredo designates it commercial only, and CBP carries no passenger or pedestrian fields for it. Cars use Juárez–Lincoln (24 hours) or Colombia (8 a.m.–midnight); walkers use Gateway to the Americas.

What are World Trade Bridge's Saturday hours?

Not reliably published. The city's day-specific values are labelled office hours, CBP's record carries only a general label, and a reported Saturday-service pilot could not be verified against the responsible release. Confirm with the operator at 956-791-2200 before planning weekend cargo.

Does World Trade Bridge report FAST waits?

Yes — FAST and General commercial waits are published separately, each with its own timestamp and open-lane count. FAST serves enrolled carriers in designated lanes; the city's AVI account is a toll product, not FAST.
