  • More Lanes – A new eight-lane bridge for northbound commercial traffic and widened lanes for southbound traffic to reduce congestion.
  • Enhanced Security – Advanced security measures ensure safe and efficient trade for all crossings.
  • Avoid U-Turns & Delays – Upgraded concrete pavement improves durability and long-term efficiency.
  • Built to Last – View live cameras for northbound and southbound traffic before crossing.
  • Improved Trade Flow – Increased capacity, faster processing, and enhanced safety for a smoother cross-border experience.

The World Trade Bridge expansion project, with its presidential permit granted on May 31st, 2024, is anticipated to reach completion by 2026.
