History
The Colombia-Solidarity International Bridge was named in honor of the Mexican planned community of Colombia, Nuevo León. The community and the international bridge were built because the Mexican state of Nuevo León wanted an international port to compete with the bordering states of Coahuila and Tamaulipas in the International Trade market. This is the only border crossing between Nuevo León and Texas.
Location
This bridge is located in the western Texas State Highway 255 termini or via Urban Road 1472 North in Laredo, Texas and the northern termini of Nuevo León State Highway Spur 1 in Colombia, Nuevo León.
