Brownsville & Matamoros International Bridge
Brownsville & Matamoros International Bridge, International border crossing between Brownsville, Texas and Matamoros, Mexico.
The bridge spans across the Rio Grande with multiple lanes accommodating both vehicle traffic and railway transportation between the United States and Mexico.
Opening on December 12, 1910, the original bridge construction cost $225,000 and featured specific toll rates for pedestrians, equestrians, and early automobiles.
The structure connects the Matamoros-Brownsville Metropolitan Area, supporting daily interactions between communities of both nations through commerce and family visits.
Operating hours extend from 6:00 AM to midnight for vehicles, with automated identification systems available for regular crossers to expedite toll collection.
The bridge system maintains two parallel structures: the original 1910 crossing for trains and a newer 1997 concrete span with four lanes for automobiles.
