Fabens-Caseta Bridge |
Description
This is a narrow, two-lane bridge built in 1938. It is one of three small, light-duty bridges built by the
International Boundary and Water Commission
as part of the U.S.-Mexico Rio Grande Rectification Project.
The crossing is also known locally as
Puente La Caseta and Tornillo-Guadalupe.
Identified Needs When there are longer wait times at the
Ysleta-Zaragoza Bridge, traffic tends to move toward the Fabens-Caseta Bridge. Identified needs
include better route signage to the bridge in this area and throughout El Paso.
Additionally, a new cargo facility will be built in this area, and a resulting
increase in truck traffic needs to be considered. Also, the Border Highway East extension needs to be
considered since it lies within the study area of this bridge.Recommendations At the end of the study, improvements will be recommended based upon identified needs of the border crossings.
