At the border

What's where?

Marker positions are approximate โ€” confirm exact locations on the day.

Customs (Aduana)

Customs booths right after crossing the older Bridge I, which handles lighter passenger-vehicle traffic during limited daytime hours.

Immigration (INM)

Immigration office at the Bridge I crossing for processing FMM tourist permits.

Parking

Parking just after the inspection zone for travelers who need longer.

Driving the crossing

Step by step, southbound

1

From Eagle Pass, follow US-57 south to Bridge I โ€” the older, free, single-lane bridge, open daytime hours only (check current hours before you go).

2

Cross the bridge over the Rio Grande into Piedras Negras, Coahuila.

3

Clear the aduana customs checkpoint immediately south of the bridge.

4

Note: Bridge I has no Banjercito office on site โ€” if you need a vehicle TIP, you'll need to continue to Bridge II (Camino Real) or the Banjercito office in Allende, about 53 km south.

5

Continue into Piedras Negras via Mexican Federal Highway 57.

Before you cross

Your US auto policy won’t cover you in Mexico

US, Canadian, and other foreign policies aren’t recognized in Mexico. Without coverage, even a minor accident can mean your vehicle is held and you’re detained until a valid policy is confirmed.

  • You must have cover to legally drive anywhere in Mexico
  • Liability or full coverage options available — valid instantly
  • Takes about 15 minutes to buy online, and is accepted at all border crossings and checkpoints
