San Jerónimo, Chihuahua - Santa Teresa, NM
6:00 AM - 10:00 PMClosed
The Santa Teresa Bridge, officially the Santa Teresa International Bridge, sits to the west and connects San Jerónimo, Chihuahua with Santa Teresa, New Mexico. It is the choice for people heading to New Mexico or west El Paso, and it is usually one of the least congested crossings in the region. It operates from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Santa Teresa is open every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., so it is not available overnight. Its big advantage is the west-side location: if your destination is the Santa Teresa area, Las Cruces, or the west, it saves you a loop through downtown. It leads into New Mexico, not directly to downtown El Paso.
Because it is farther out and less well known than Santa Fe or Puente Libre, Santa Teresa normally has shorter waits, especially on weekdays. Many people use it precisely to skip the long downtown lines when their schedule and destination allow. Still, it is worth checking the live number, since it can back up at certain hours too.
On weekdays, mid-morning and afternoon usually flow very well. The heaviest hours are early morning and near closing around 10 p.m., when everyone wants to make it across in time. Confirm the live wait time above before driving out here, especially if you are coming from central Juárez.
