Storm-damaged roads hurt Mexico border city, freight movement

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico The Mexican border city of Nuevo Laredo is suffering so much from flood damage to highways connecting it to the rest of the country that the city government has sent work crews to repair a storm-damaged bridge in a neighboring state. Thousands of freight trucks that usually make Nuevo Laredo one of the busiest border crossings in Mexico still can't reach the city over the usual route from the industrial city of Monterrey.

So Mayor Ramon Garza says the city sent crews Tuesday to a damaged bridge in neighboring Nuevo Leon state. Local television is airing footage of desperate truckers and travelers who have been stranded for days by last week's flooding.
Nuevo Laredo is located across the border from Laredo, Texas.
