Summary

"This publication provides general information about each bridge and border crossing that connects Texas and the Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and Chihuahua. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has four border districts (Pharr, Laredo, Odessa and El Paso), three of which are impacted by the border crossings. The Odessa district does not have any border crossings located in the area. The bridges in this publication are listed east-to-west geographically. Included are existing bridges, and bridges that have been granted Presidential Permits. The two dam crossings and one hand-drawn ferry that join Texas and Mexico bring the total number of international bridges and border crossings to 28. This does not include the La Linda Bridge, which is closed, and the Roma International Suspension Bridge that is also closed and being considered for rehabilitation. In addition, six rail-only bridges span the Texas-Mexico border. They are not included in this publication because they do not require connecting highway infrastructure. However, these rail bridges are in Brownsville, Laredo, Eagle Pass, Presidio (closed), and El Paso (2)." --p.i
