Identified Needs The bridge receives a high volume of commercial
vehicles, which are directed to the temporary Department of Public Safety (DPS) facility located outside the crossing.
Commercial trucks can back-up upon exiting the bridge in order to wait in line to pass through the DPS facility.
Identified needs include restriping pavement markings and improving the exit lanes from the DPS
Border Safety Inspection Facilities, as trucks are forced to quickly merge with oncoming traffic.Recommendations At the end of the study, improvements will be recommended based upon identified needs of the border crossings.
