Roma

The Roma–Ciudad Miguel Alemán international crossing connects Roma in Starr County, Texas, with Ciudad Miguel Alemán in Tamaulipas. CBP identifies the wait-time entry as 231001. Use that number when looking up a report so that you do not confuse it with Rio Grande City, another crossing in the same county.

TxDOT distinguishes the operating concrete bridge from the old San Pedro–Roma suspension bridge beside it. The historic suspension bridge was closed to traffic when the newer bridge was built. The two structures are separate, even though they appear together in descriptions of this part of the border.

CBP lists Roma's port hours as 24 hours a day. That is the schedule for the port, not a promise that every inspection lane runs continuously. Check the current status immediately before traveling, especially if a particular lane matters to your plans.

The CBP report includes passenger and commercial vehicle fields. For passenger vehicles, it also provides a Ready Lane field. A lane marked closed is different from a delay of zero minutes; an unavailable or pending field is not an estimate of how long you will wait. Follow the signs and instructions at the crossing.

The wait report concerns travel north into the United States. Before setting out, check CBP's land-entry document guidance for each traveler's citizenship and immigration status. A U.S. citizen can review the accepted passport and passport-card options; requirements differ for other travelers.

For Ready Lane, CBP requires eligible RFID travel cards for travelers age 16 or older. A passport book alone is not a Ready Lane card. Having a document accepted for entry and having the right document for a designated lane are separate questions. Confirm both before choosing a lane, and check whether it is operating.

If your itinerary also includes driving south into Mexico, arrange liability insurance valid there. Mexican federal-road rules require coverage for harm to third parties. CONDUSEF recommends checking the policy's coverage and exclusions and verifying the authorization of the insurer and agent.

Keep the policy details with your travel documents. For the northbound leg, return to the Roma report and check its latest update rather than treating the published port hours as a current wait. Conditions and lane statuses can change between the time you plan and the time you arrive.
