The long-awaited construction of the Overpass located on El Indio Highway (FM 10210) in Eagle Pass, Texas is scheduled to be open to the public for transportation use on Friday, March 14, 2014, announced Raul Leal, District Public Information Officer for the Texas Department of Transportation in Laredo, Texas.

The multi-million highway construction project will open a new overpass to Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico motorists traveling on both City of Eagle Pass International Bridges Nos. 1 and 2, but mostly Bridge No. 2 , over the ever busier Union Pacific Railroad tracks which are constantly being used and blocking motorists attempting to cross over.

Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras motorists see the opening of the El Indio Highway Overpass as a godsend to them, remedying their headaches and problems getting across the always busy Union Pacific Railroad tracks.

Motorists will also be able to have express traffic access to Mall de las Aguilas, Walmart Super Store, Lowe’s, H.E.B., Bibb Street businesses, El Indio Highway, Veterans Boulevard, the New Loop, and the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel.
