Find Camino Real, not Bridge I
Eagle Pass Bridge II is also known as Camino Real International Bridge. It connects Eagle Pass, Texas, with Piedras Negras, Coahuila. The Texas Department of Transportation identifies Bridge I as a different crossing linking the two downtown areas. When comparing waits, keep the bridge name and CBP identifier 230302 together so you do not plan an approach using the wrong report.
CBP lists Bridge II as open 24 hours a day. That port-wide schedule does not guarantee that every lane or service operates throughout the day. Check current lane status and notices before starting your trip.
Read the right vehicle category
The Bridge II feed separates passenger vehicles from commercial vehicles. Its passenger section contains standard, SENTRI and Ready Lane fields; the commercial section has standard and FAST fields. A category appearing in the feed is not a promise that its lane is open. Look at its current status as well as the estimate, and do not interpret a closed lane as having no wait.
SENTRI requires approval in a trusted traveler program. Ready Lane eligibility depends on accepted RFID-enabled travel cards; a passport book alone is not a Ready Lane card. Check the rules for everyone traveling before choosing a restricted lane.
Walking and freight have different information
TxDOT identifies sidewalks at Camino Real and describes the bridge as serving both private and commercial vehicles. CBP's current Bridge II feed marks the standard and Ready pedestrian wait fields as not applicable. That label is not an estimate of zero minutes and should not be used to predict a walking trip.
For commercial vehicles, CBP identifies the measurement point as the exit of the toll booth in Mexico. The feed describes the approach to U.S. primary inspection. Use the commercial reading for a truck journey and check the current status rather than borrowing the passenger-car number.
Documents and the southbound drive
For U.S. citizens entering by land, CBP lists a valid U.S. passport or passport card among accepted documents. Requirements depend on citizenship and status, so check the official guidance for every traveler. Entry documents and eligibility for a particular lane are separate questions.
The displayed border waits concern entry into the United States, not the drive south into Mexico. If driving in Mexico, arrange liability coverage valid there. Mexican federal-road rules require coverage for harm to third parties; CONDUSEF advises reviewing the policy, its exclusions and the insurer's authorization.
