City Officials are anticipating large traffic lines to cross into Mexico due to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.

Therefore, the City of Eagle Pass and the Eagle Pass Bridge System have again initiated a traffic control plan.  This plan is to remedy the large amounts of traffic that are anticipated within the city limits and provide easier access to The Camino Real Bridge (Bridge II) as Bridge I continues to cease operations at 3:00 PM.
All citizens and travelers headed into Mexico are encouraged to utilize Loop 480 in order to avoid being rerouted by traffic control officers.  Please obey all officers on traffic control duty and all traffic control devices.
Be safe, drive safe and Happy Thanksgiving from the Eagle Pass Police Department.
The traffic access changes will take effect on Wednesday, November 25, 2020, at 12:00p.m. and remain in effect through Saturday, November 28, 2020, at 7:00a.m.
The purpose of these temporary changes is to expedite travel effectively and efficiently to Mexico via Camino Real International Bridge (Bridge II) while reducing traffic congestion within City limits. The travel restrictions implemented by Piedras Negras Coahuila Mexico will cause 6-8-hour delays for visitors traveling to Mexico.
All non-commercial local and visitor traffic seeking access to International Bridge II will have
access via Loop 480 only.
All commercial traffic seeking access to International Bridge II will have access via Industrial Blvd only.
No other access will be permitted. 
Non-commercial access to Loop 480 can be obtained at the following intersections:
FM 1021(El Indio Hwy) and Loop 480*
Highway 277 and Loop 480*
Highway 57 and Loop 480
*If traffic levels surpass intersections above, they will be closed off and access will be obtained at the nearest available intersection.
Commercial access to Industrial Blvd can be obtained at the following intersections: FM 1021(El Indio Hwy) and Industrial Blvd
*Commercial traffic traveling on Loop 480 will be detoured to exit FM1021 to the Industrial Blvd
Intersection. International Bridge I will remain open under normal hours of operation (7:00a.m.-2:45p.m.) with no traffic access changes being made.
The City of Eagle Pass would like to thank everyone in advance for their understanding and cooperation with the implemented changes.
