Driving over the Free Bridge
Being free, the lines are usually longer, especially coming back, but
you're a trouper, right? Anyway, here are the turnoffs you'll need to
watch for: about 50 yards past the bridge, right at the big giant 'Welcome
to Mexico' sign,
there is a road
that will take you downtown. Turn right onto
it. Obey the speed limit,
though; I got one of my two tickets there. The next chance to turn off
is right before the big
Rotary statue (rear) and
(front).
(looks kind of like a giant Cheerio).
Right before the overpass (did I mention you should stay right?),
take the exit downhill
to the street that passes under the overpass, which, I
believe, is Ribereña (sorry about the photo, but I took it while
driving). About a minute after the Rotary statue, there
is a
BIG fork in the road.
The left fork is Lincoln Avenue, the right fork
is Avenida de las Americas. Note: the photo was taken from the
other side of the street, but you can clearly see the fork.
If you take the left fork to Lincoln, you can go to the
Rio Grande Mall.
In future columns, I will tell you where Americas goes.
