Eagle Pass – Bridge I

Eagle Pass International Bridge, also called Bridge I, connects Eagle Pass, Texas, with Piedras Negras, Coahuila. TxDOT describes it as a link between the two central business districts, serving private vehicles and pedestrians. It is a distinct crossing from the Camino Real International Bridge, or Bridge II.

CBP's identifier for Bridge I is 230301. The wait information describes northbound entry into the United States. It is not a measurement of the southbound trip into Mexico, and a reading for Bridge II does not describe the Bridge I queue.

CBP lists Bridge I hours as 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Check the live port notice and lane status before leaving, particularly if your arrival is close to either end of that window. A listed port schedule does not guarantee that every lane will be available throughout it.

Bridge II has its own CBP entry, 230302, and is listed as open 24 hours a day. If considering that crossing instead, open its separate report and verify the relevant lane and conditions. Its schedule is not a promise of a particular wait.

TxDOT identifies Bridge I as a route for pedestrians and privately operated vehicles. CBP lists a passenger category but may show a pedestrian estimate as pending or unavailable. A missing figure is not evidence of an empty line or a prohibition on walking. Use the latest information and follow directions at the crossing.

The CBP feed can show general, Ready and SENTRI fields with different statuses. A field marked update pending does not establish that a lane is currently open. TxDOT identifies Bridge II as a crossing that also handles commercial traffic; freight drivers should check its separate commercial report and current hours.

Before returning to the United States, check CBP's land-entry guidance for every traveler's citizenship and status. For U.S. citizens, a valid U.S. passport or passport card is among the accepted documents. Requirements can differ for other travelers, so review the official guidance for your situation.

A document accepted for entry is not necessarily eligible for Ready Lane. CBP requires eligible RFID travel cards for people age 16 or older in a Ready Lane vehicle. SENTRI requires prior approval. Use a restricted lane only when eligible and when it is operating.

Arrange liability coverage valid in Mexico before driving there. Mexican federal-road rules require insurance for injury or property damage caused to third parties. CONDUSEF recommends reviewing coverage and exclusions and verifying that the insurer and agent are authorized.

Check the CBP update time and any port notice before you go; an estimate is not a reservation or a guarantee of crossing time.
