Wait estimates are for entry into the United States. Check each lane separately; N/A is not a zero-minute wait.

Find the Starr-Camargo crossing

The Starr-Camargo Bridge joins Rio Grande City, Texas, with Ciudad Camargo, Tamaulipas. TxDOT also lists Rio Grande City–Camargo among its local names. The U.S. side is in Starr County, and the bridge has a separate CBP wait-time entry numbered 230701.

Roma is another crossing in the county, but it connects to Ciudad Miguel Alemán and appears under a different CBP number, 231001. When comparing a route, keep the destination city and port number together. A wait reported for one crossing is not the queue at the other.

Schedule the northbound trip

CBP lists Rio Grande City's port hours as 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. The published schedule applies to the port; an individual lane's operating status may differ. Check the latest port notice and lane report before setting out, and leave enough time to reach the crossing within its listed hours.

This is a meaningful difference from the separate Roma report, which CBP lists as 24 hours. If you change plans, check the other crossing's own information and route rather than carrying over this schedule or wait. Neither posted hours nor an earlier reading guarantees the conditions you will encounter on arrival.

Choose the right CBP reading

CBP presents separate fields for passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. Select the category that matches your trip and look at its update time and operating status as well as any delay. A pending update is not a zero-minute wait, and a closed lane is not a measurement of the queue.

The report concerns travel from Mexico into the United States. It does not predict the southbound journey. Commercial drivers should confirm their shipment and processing arrangements with the appropriate authorities before travel; the overall port schedule alone does not establish a specific cargo service schedule.

Prepare for both parts of the journey

For entry into the United States, review CBP's land-travel document rules for each person's citizenship and status. U.S. citizens can check the passport and passport-card options in the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative guidance. Keep the appropriate documents accessible for inspection.

If you will also drive into Mexico, arrange liability insurance valid there. Mexican federal-road rules require coverage for third-party harm, and CONDUSEF advises reviewing coverage, exclusions and the authorization of the insurer and agent. These preparations concern the southbound drive; return to the Rio Grande City report for the latest northbound status.
