We take 57 which has good bypasses around San Luis PotosÃ, Saltillo (finally) and Monterrey. We overnight in Matahuala at Las Palmas Midway inn. Very nice.
From 57 we take 85 up to Laredo. Last spring there were extended stretches of rough road. Pretty much the same as always.
We head west just south of Nuevo Laredo and follow the signs to the Columbia Crossing. It does add I think about 40 K or so but worth it for us not to go thru Nuevo Laredo and Laredo. We tow a travel trailer with Suburban. Large parking area and very easy to turn in TIP at a booth. When you cross the border, you will be out in the country and you can continue straight on a good Texas Toll Road up to 35 which brings you right into Austin. A nice detour for a few days if you have time is Texas Hill Country!
There used to be a charge for that Texas Toll Road and we have a pass but last April there was no charge.
