Nuevo León and Jalisco signed a trade-and-logistics agreement centered on the Colombia-Laredo International Bridge, with Nuevo León offering Jalisco exporters lower crossing costs. Mural and El Horizonte put the discount at 50%; Milenio reports 50% to 100% on crossing fees, so published coverage does not settle a single final rate.
For exporters, the practical change is an incentive to route freight through Nuevo León’s Colombia facility on the way to the United States. El Horizonte describes the crossing as an alternative for companies in both states and says it connects to Interstate 35; the reports do not spell out eligibility rules, duration, volume limits, or a complete rate schedule.
Milenio reported that Governor Samuel García said a registration link would be published for the incentives, but gave no release date. El Horizonte says about 300 business representatives, officials, and industrial groups attended the two-state meeting; a panel included U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Grupo LEGO Americas representatives discussing joint inspection and border operations.
