Border crossing Brownsville–Matamoros

There are three: the Veterans (Los Tomates) bridge, the Gateway bridge downtown, and the B&M bridge. Live wait times for all of them are shown above on this page, with CBP data updated every 5 minutes and live cameras.

The Veterans (Los Tomates) bridge is the main one for private vehicles. The Gateway bridge downtown is a closer alternative to central Brownsville. Compare the live times above.

The Gateway bridge downtown is the most practical for walking into downtown Brownsville.

On weekdays, early morning and mid-afternoon usually have lighter waits. Weekday mornings, Sundays and holidays are heaviest.

Yes. The Veterans bridge has SENTRI and Ready Lane to cut wait times if you have the document.

Fila de Puentes gathers live Brownsville–Matamoros wait times alongside the busiest US–Mexico border crossings. You get CBP’s live wait plus how the line has moved over the last 24 hours, and at many crossings live cameras and community reports too. We keep adding bridges, built for the people who cross the border every day.
