BROWNSVILLE, Texas – The Brownsville & Matamoros International Bridge and the Gateway International Bridge reopened Thursday after a security incident in Matamoros prompted temporary closures, according to Brownsville police.
Police had earlier advised the public to avoid travel to the international bridges while the situation was active. In a later update, the department said the two crossings had reopened.
Authorities did not immediately release additional details about the incident or the duration of the closures. The bridges are key crossings for travelers and commercial activity between Brownsville and Matamoros.
Travelers should check official law enforcement, bridge and customs updates before heading to a port of entry because crossing conditions can change quickly.
