Presidential Permit 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 J. Trump has issued a permit allowing the City of Laredo, Texas, to expand and continue operating a vehicular border crossing at the Laredo-Colombia Solidarity International Bridge. This permit authorizes the construction of two new 4-lane spans for commercial traffic, alongside the existing bridge, to facilitate cross-border movement. The permit includes conditions requiring compliance with federal, state, and local laws, environmental mitigation efforts, and coordination with relevant U.S. and Mexican authorities. It mandates that the City of Laredo provides necessary inspection facilities and infrastructure improvements at no cost to the federal government. The permit will expire in five years if construction has not commenced by then.
