Gateway International Bridge, International border bridge in Brownsville, United States.
The Gateway International Bridge spans across the Rio Grande, connecting downtown Brownsville, Texas with Matamoros, Tamaulipas in Mexico.
The Brownsville Gateway Port of Entry began operations in 1926 with the construction of this bridge, which later received extensive modifications in the twentieth century.
The bridge serves as a vital connection point between the communities of Brownsville and Matamoros, creating a combined metropolitan area of over 1 million residents.
Pedestrians can cross the bridge 24 hours daily, accessing retail outlets in downtown Brownsville or tourist destinations in Matamoros while vehicles remain parked on either side.
Since 1999, the bridge has been dedicated exclusively to pedestrian traffic, making it the most frequently used crossing point for people on foot in Brownsville.
