Gateway International Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gateway International Bridge is one of three international bridges located in the city of Brownsville, TX, USA. It is owned and operated by Cameron County. It links the city of Brownsville with Matamoros, Mexico. Over the past century, it's developed the nickname of "The New Bridge" when the bridge was remodeled back in the 20th century. Despite the fact that the Veteran's International Bridge is newer than Gateway, it still retains its nickname.
[edit] Location
Gateway is located in Downtown Brownsville and a block from the University of Texas at Brownsville. It is the most used international bridge in the city for pedestrian crossings. People on the US side wanting to go to Mexico can simply park their car on the US side, walk over to Mexico and have access to several tourist attractions in Matamoros. People on the Mexican side are able to walk over to the United States and have access to hundreds of retail outlets in Downtown Brownsville.
Brownsville Urban System, Brownsville's Mass Transit system, has its central bus station located three blocks from Gateway.
