The '''Amistad Dam Port of Entry''' is a [[port of entry]] into the United States from Mexico. It was built when [[Amistad Dam]] was completed in 1969. The Dam was a bi-national effort to establish flood control on the Rio Grande and provide sources of water. Although US Department of Transportation statistics combine traffic counts with [[Del Rio Texas Port of Entry]], approximately 65,000 vehicles crossed the dam into the US in 2005.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.txdot.gov/project_information/projects/border_crossing/default.htm |title=Border Crossing Travel Time Study, FINAL Study Report, Volume II: TxDOT Laredo District |work=RJ RIVERA Associates, Inc. for Texas Department of Transportation, Transportation Planning and Programming Division |accessdate=22 July 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081226132519/http://www.txdot.gov/project_information/projects/border_crossing/default.htm |archivedate=26 December 2008 }}</ref>
