Border Crossings
El Paso Has Multiple International Ports of Entry into Mexico
El Paso sits directly on the U.S.-Mexico border with several international bridge crossings into Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.
El Paso and Ciudad Juárez form one of the largest binational metropolitan areas on the U.S.-Mexico border. Several international bridges connect the two cities. If you live or work in El Paso, crossing the border — for shopping, family, or business — is part of daily life for many residents.
Each bridge crossing has its own hours, traffic patterns, and wait times. Trusted Traveler Programs like SENTRI can reduce wait times if you cross frequently. U.S. citizens need a valid passport or passport card to re-enter the country. Vehicle insurance purchased in the U.S. may not cover you in Mexico — check with your insurer before crossing with your car.
