Contingency Plan Unveiled to Address Recurring Delays at World Trade Bridge in Laredo

In response to recurring delays near the World Trade Bridge, the City of Laredo has committed to establishing a contingency plan. Mayor Dr. Victor Treviño discussed this initiative during a meeting on Monday night, May 6, outlining short, middle, and long-term strategies to address the issue.

Some of the proposed ideas include keeping loaded trucks ready at warehouses, changing truck routes, and improving communication to ensure everyone is aware of any problems at the bridge. The Customs Broker Port of Entry Advisory Committee officials explained that these delays result in significant financial losses for the city whenever there are issues with the Mexican processing system.

Rick Laurel, a committee member, expressed concerns about the financial impact of truck delays on customers and users of the bridge facilities. He emphasized the need to find solutions to minimize the frequency of these delays and their associated costs. Mayor Dr. Victor Treviño is scheduled to meet with the Tamaulipas Governor later this week to discuss ways to address the ongoing delays and explore potential solutions.

It is crucial to find effective measures to mitigate the financial impacts of truck delays and ensure smooth operations at the World Trade Bridge. Stay updated on our latest headlines for more information. Copyright 2024 KGNS. All rights reserved.
