Mayor Treviño Commits to Addressing Recurring Delays near World Trade Bridge in Laredo

Laredo, Texas, is facing recurring delays near the World Trade Bridge, which has led to financial losses for the city. During a meeting on Monday night, May 6, Mayor Dr. Victor Treviño discussed a commitment to establish a contingency plan to address this issue. He outlined short, middle, and long-term strategies to minimize the frequency of these delays and their associated costs.

Some of the proposed solutions include keeping loaded trucks ready at warehouses, changing truck routes, and improving communication to ensure everyone is aware of any problems at the bridge. Rick Laurel, a member of the Customs Broker Port of Entry Advisory Committee, expressed concerns about the financial impact of truck delays on customers and users of the bridge facilities. He emphasized the need for solutions that would minimize these delays and their associated costs.

Mayor Treviño is scheduled to meet with Tamaulipas Governor later this week to discuss ways to address ongoing delays and explore potential solutions. It is crucial to find effective measures that mitigate the financial impacts of truck delays and ensure smooth operations at the World Trade Bridge.
