The El Paso Stanton Street Port of Entry, located at the Good Neighbor International Bridge is limited to processing passenger vehicles that are enrolled in the SENTRI program.[1] It is open from 6:00 AM - midnight weekdays, and 8:00 AM - midnight Saturdays and Sundays.
Since its reconstruction in 1967 as part of the Chamizal Treaty between the US and Mexico, the Good Neighbor International Bridge (known locally as the Stanton Street Bridge) was dedicated to southbound traffic. In 1998, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and U.S. Customs Service chose this bridge as the best location to set up a dedicated commuter lane to relieve congestion in the busy El Paso-Cuidad Juarez metroplex. The General Services Administration constructed a port of entry on available land just west of the bridge and it was opened to pre-enrolled northbound traffic in September 1999.
