Getting there & away

Car & motorcycle

For a vehicle permit, you must go to CIITEV (24hr) between the bridges: follow the blue ‘car permits’ signs.

The route south via Monterrey is the most direct to central Mexico, the Pacific coast and the Gulf coast. Hwy 85D is a fast, excellent toll road (M$177), while the alternative free road (Hwy 85) is longer and slower.
