Brownsville – B&M Port of Entry

The Brownsville B&M Port of Entry opened in 1909 with the completion of the Brownsville & Matamoros International Bridge. The bridge was built to carry trains, horses, wagons and pedestrians. The original bridge could swing open to allow river traffic to pass; however it was a function that was almost never used due to the shallowness of the Rio Grande. The bridge was subtantially renovated in 1953, and a second 4-lane bridge dedicated to northbound traffic was build adjacent to it in 1997.

Brownsville Gateway Port of Entry

The Brownsville Gateway Port of Entry opened in 1926 with the completion of the Gateway International Bridge.

Unfortnately, the steel arch bridge was not well maintained, and it was replaced with two flat deck spans in the late 1970s. All truck traffic has been prohibited since 1999.
