international bridge

Transnational river span

An international bridge is a bridge spanning a border between two countries, typically crossing a river or other natural boundary.

These structures serve as official crossing points where travelers pass through customs and immigration: The International Bridge connects Laredo, Texas to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.

The term appears frequently along the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders.
