The Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge serves as one of the most important ports on entry for the U.S.-Mexico border. The bridge handles commercial vehicles as well as passenger-operated vehicles.

The Pharr-Reynosa International bridge connects U.S. 281 to the city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, which is an important industrial city in northeastern Mexico, which has become one of the fastest growing cities in Latin America.

The Pharr Bridge is recognized as the longest bridge, which connects two countries at a length of 3.2 miles.

The residents from Mexico call it “The Intelligent Bridge,” due to the state-of-the-art technology. GAMA Rays and Fast And Secure Trade program, known as FAST are implemented by both the U.S. and Mexican Customs, which allows an expedited inspection of documents and cargo, and limits crossing time on the U.S.-Mexican border.

The Pharr Bridge strategic location, surrounding infrastructure, services and potential for growth, gives a competitive advantage to the City of Pharr, Texas, as well as the City of Reynosa, Tamaulipas.

Importers, exporters, domestic and multinational manufacturing companies have found that using the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge as their port of entry as a great advantage to conduct their operations, and has transformed into profits due to the regions low cost of doing business.
