Exciting progress in Pharr! 🎉 This morning, we broke ground on the monumental Bridge Expansion and DAP 16 Project, a $44 million initiative in collaboration with the Pharr International Bridge, U.S. GSA, and U.S. CBP. This project marks a significant step towards enhancing our city's infrastructure and fostering international trade. A new 'twin span' will be constructed parallel to the existing bridge, adding four lanes and a sidewalk. This expansion will feature two crossovers, enhanced lighting, and electronic signage, all aimed at improving traffic flow, reducing wait times, and enhancing safety. The additional lanes will also allow for better traffic management, especially in cases of accidents or mechanical breakdowns.
