Garita Kilómetro 26
''Garita Kilómetro 26'' (Spanish for Kilometer 26 checkpoint) was a federal inspection checkpoint operated by the Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit through its Mexican Customs Bureau. The name derives from its location, which is exactly 26 kilometers south of the Mexico–United States border, from Gateway to the Americas International Bridge following the main road until it becomes Mexican Federal Highway 85, Federal Highway 85. It is more commonly known as ''Kilómetro Veintiséis'' (kilometer 26) or just ''el Veintiséis'' (the 26). It represents one of the many checkpoints or ''garitas'' located along the major transportation corridors in border regions. More than 4000 Semi-trailer, trucks pass through the inspection station each day. The inspection facility was in the process of renovation since 2005 Kilometer 26 checkpoint was closed on September 14 2014, due to a Mexican law change. {{DEFAULTSORT:Garita Kilometro 26 Nuevo Laredo Border crossings ...
