LAREDO, Texas– To help better facilitate northbound traffic flow at Juarez-Lincoln Bridge during a resurfacing project in the northbound lanes on the Mexico side, CBP has relocated cement barriers to adjust the traffic flow pattern.
“We have moved our cement lane divider barriers over a bit to help facilitate the traffic flow northbound at Juarez Lincoln Bridge while this resurfacing project remain ongoing,” said Port Director Albert Flores, Laredo Port of Entry. “We ask for the public’s patience in advance and to please exercise caution while driving through the area.”
CBP, in coordination with City of Laredo Bridge System, has moved cement lane-dividing barriers over toward the west so that there are now two lanes of southbound traffic to Mexico and an expanded area for the northbound traffic on the Mexico side, which had been temporarily rerouted to the southbound lanes on the Mexico side to avoid the resurfacing project area, to transition back over to the regular northbound lanes. The last cement barrier before the transition is angled to help facilitate this flow pattern.
Members of the traveling public can monitor Border Wait Times or also obtain the BWT app on their smartphone via Apple App Store and Google Play so that they can observe the wait times and make an informed decision on which bridge to use. These wait times are updated on an hourly basis.
Also to avoid any potential delays or fines due to travelers bringing prohibited/restricted agricultural items, CBP encourages travelers to declare all agricultural items to a CBP officer upon arrival and before making their journey to consult the Know Before You Go guide.
