The line over the Queen Isabella Causeway heading back to Port Isabel was long after the launch happened.
A SpaceX employee who works on the launch pad said the launch was "rewarding."
"It's been really exciting and really rewarding to see the work we've been putting in the last two years pay off in this way," SpaceX employee Paige Adams said.
It is not yet known just how many vehicles entered Isla Blanca Park to watch the launch.
