DEL RIO, Texas — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations (OFO) Laredo Field Office will reopen the Amistad Dam International Bridge after a brief closure due to a maintenance issue.

On Friday, November 19, 2021, the Amistad Dam Port of Entry, located on Texas Spur 349 in Del Rio, Texas will reopen and resume their normal operating hours of 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., seven days a week.

Hours at the Del Rio Port of Entry as well as cargo operations remain unaffected.

CBP reminds the traveling public that effective on Nov. 8, foreign nationals who have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and have appropriate documentation will be permitted to enter the United States via land ports of entry (POEs) and ferry terminals for non-essential reasons such as tourism. CBP reminds these travelers to be prepared to (1) provide proof of their COVID-19 vaccination, as outlined on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website; and (2) verbally attest to their reason for travel and COVID-19 vaccination status during a border inspection.

CBP would like to remind the traveling public the importance of obtaining and utilizing their equipped radio frequency identification documents (RFID) such as U.S. passport cards and newer versions (i.e. since 2011) of the border crossing card and resident alien card, to utilize the Ready Lanes and for travelers to have their entry documents ready as they approach the booth to facilitate their processing.  Travelers may also monitor the wait times at the Del Rio Port of Entry to using the following link: https://bwt.cbp.gov/index.html
