Summary

"This publication provides general information about each bridge and border crossing that connects Texas and the Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, Coahuila and Chihuahua. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has four border districts (Pharr, Laredo, Odessa and El Paso), three (El Paso, Laredo, and Pharr) of which have or include border crossings. The Texas-Mexico International Bridges and Border Crossings book highlights each border crossing from west-to-east, dividing the border into the three regions (El Paso, Laredo, and the Rio Grande Valley). This book provides information at the border-wide level, followed by the regional level, as well as by individual crossing."--from Executive Summary, Texas-Mexico International Bridges and Border Crossings Book section
