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.

Nope, there isn't. In fact, there's not been a soul trying to protect American jobs for American workers in the US government for will beyond a decade but no one has been a bold about it as Obama.
