Brownsville – B&M Port of Entry
US–Mexico border crossing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[1] The bridge was substantially renovated in 1953, and a second 4-lane bridge dedicated to northbound traffic was built adjacent to it in 1997. Since 1999, all truck traffic has been diverted to the Veterans and Los Indios crossings.
