The Laredo Juarez–Lincoln Port of Entry is an international port of entry inspection station on the Mexico–United States border between Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. Sometimes referred to as Bridge II, it is located at the Juarez-Lincoln International Bridge.[1]
The station was built in 1976, primarily to divert truck traffic from the congested Gateway to the Americas International Bridge. However, it too was soon overwhelmed with traffic. Currently, all trucks are inspected at Bridges III and IV, leaving only passenger vehicles and buses crossing at this location.
