Mexican authorities set up new live stream cameras on Tuesday on the international bridges connecting Mexico and the U.S. to help commuters plan their drive between the two countries.
The State of Chihuahua’s Border Bridge launched public live feeds from its security cameras at three international bridges. According to Mexican authorities, the footage can help drivers estimate how long it will take them to get across the border and decide which port of entry to take.
“We will be transmitting live 24-7 at Paso del Norte, Stanton, and Zaragoza. This is so users can visualize in real-time traffic leading to the (Mexican) toll booths,” said Rogelio Fernandez, director of the Bridge Trust.
The live stream can be seen in the Fideicomiso de Puentes Fronterizos de Chihuahua’s web page or YouTube channel.
Chihuahua state officials added that the Mexican live feel will include images of traffic on the access road.
On the American side, U.S. Customs and Border Protection offers hourly estimated bridge wait times based on the traffic from the Mexican toll booths.
Similarly, El Paso offers live stream videos from its security cameras on the Stanton Bridge, Paso del Norte Bridge, and, Zaragoza Bridge.
