The station was built in 1976, primarily to divert truck traffic from the congested Gateway to the Americas International Bridge. However, it too was soon overwhelmed with traffic. Currently, all trucks are inspected at Bridges III and IV, leaving only passenger vehicles and buses crossing at this location.
