During the launching of the Río Bravo-Donna Bridge, in the municipality of Río Bravo, Tamaulipas, the President explained that over seven thousand jobs have been estimated in property and industrial development, together with a billion pesos in investment. “We will gain far more in jobs and economic growth than what we have invested in infrastructure.”

The Río Bravo-Donna Border Bridge represents, “The mutual commitment and cooperation between the U.S. and Mexican governments to have a more efficient, safer border.”
Over 300 million pesos have been invested in the construction of the bridge, together with another 100 million pesos in infrastructure works and highway access, particularly to the Reynosa-Matamoros freeway.
