Border crossing

The Anzalduas Port of Entry opened on December 15, 2009 with the completion of the Anzalduas International Bridge. It was designed to divert traffic from the congested Hidalgo Texas Port of Entry.

Commercial trucks and pedestrians continue to be prohibited from entering the US via this crossing; however, empty trucks may travel southbound to Mexico. The bridge has a dedicated commuter lane (SENTRI) that is open on restricted hours and frequently open to the general public during high traffic hours without notice.
