This border crossing is at the end of International Boulevard (US 281) in Hidalgo, which proceeds over the International Bridge to Perferico Luis Echevaria highway in Reynosa, Mexico.

The waymark point is the "Welcome to Texas" sign at Esperanza street, near where US 281 splits into Bridge Street (inbound to Texas from Mexico) and International Boulevard (inbound to Reynosa MX).

We did not feel comfortable taking photos of the actual border station itself, which was very large and extremely busy the day we were there. There is no welcome center at the border, only a large building for processing documents, searching vehicles, paying import duties, etc.
