[3] From the Laredo Colombia Solidarity Port of Entry, SH 255 heads northeast as a four-lane divided highway and crosses FM 1472 (Mines Road).

[1] In August 2001, landowners that were shareholders of the route filed a lawsuit, claiming that profits and traffic usage were less than expected.

The failure of the route was attributed to the price for truck traffic ($16), the continuation of U.S. government policies banning Mexican trucks from the interior of the United States (which had been expected to be abolished under the North American Free Trade Agreement), and the approval of a new freeway connecting route from the World Trade International Bridge crossing along Loop 20 to Interstate 35.

The toll road was foreclosed on late in 2003 and was purchased at auction on January 6, 2004, by its main creditor, the John Hancock Life Insurance Company, for the minimum $12 million, one-sixth of the construction value.

[13] During the 2017 Texas legislative session, language was added to Senate Bill 312 that disallowed TxDOT from continuing to operate the route as a toll project.
