Motorized traffic often gets backed up at all of the bridges.
Lines are typically longer when entering the U.S. than for entering Mexico.
The time in line can vary from a few minutes to, on infrequent occasions, more than an hour. There are actually two bridges connecting the downtown areas. The Santa Fe Street Bridge connects Santa Fe Street in El Paso with Av. Juarez across the border. Foot traffic goes both directions on this bridge along with northbound automobiles.
