Of the nearly $612 billion of imports and exports exchanged between Mexico and the U.S. in 2018, more than 37 percent of the traffic passed through the Laredo Port of Entry in Laredo, Texas via crossings of the Rio Grande River. Four bridges comprise the Laredo International Bridge System and connect the city with Nuevo Laredo and Tamaulipas, Mexico, permitting the passage of over 6.7 million vehicles annually. The combined trade activity at three bridges in Laredo (two vehicular, one rail) ranks this city as the number-three customs district and the busiest land port in the United States.
