The Texas Department of Transportation Laredo District office sent this message out Friday afternoon. Just passing it along ...
------------
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is closing the Camino Colombia Toll Plaza Operations Building at the end of this month. After January 29, 2010, motorists on the Camino Colombia toll road will no longer be able to pick up a TxTag at the roadside plaza building.
Last July, TxDOT stopped collecting cash tolls on Camino Colombia and began requiring that drivers have a prepaid toll account such as a TxTag. To ease the transition to all-electronic tolling, the agency continued to staff the Toll Plaza Operations Building and allowed motorists to stop and open a TxTag account.
Area drivers who wish to open a TxTag account in person will still be able to do so at the TxDOT Laredo Travel Information Center at I-35 North and U.S. 83 and the TxDOT District Office at 1817 Bob Bullock Loop. TxTags are also conveniently available online at TxTag.org or by calling 1-888-GoTxTag. International customers can call 001-512-874-9998 to reach TxTag Customer Service.
Currently, there is no charge for a TxTag sticker, which is installed on a vehicle’s windshield. To open an account, drivers simply prepay $20 in tolls. TxTag is also accepted on toll roads in Austin, Dallas, Houston and Tyler.
The Camino Colombia toll road (State Highway 255) begins near the Colombia-Solidarity International Bridge and stretches 22 miles east to I-35 north of Laredo. Motorists can view toll rates and get additional information about the toll road at www.caminocolombia.org.
