Authorizing the City of Laredo, Texas, To Expand and Continue To Maintain, and Operate a Vehicular Border Crossing at the Laredo-Colombia Solidarity International Bridge Land Port of Entry

President Donald Trump has authorized the City of Laredo, Texas, to expand, maintain, and operate a vehicular border crossing at the Laredo-Colombia Solidarity International Bridge Land Port of Entry. This permit allows for the construction of two new 4-lane spans for commercial traffic, alongside the existing bridge, enhancing the infrastructure at this U.S.-Mexico border crossing. The permit includes conditions requiring compliance with federal, state, and local laws, environmental mitigation measures, and coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. It also mandates obtaining necessary approvals from relevant U.S. and Mexican authorities before construction begins. The permit will expire if construction does not commence within five years.
