PHARR, RGV - Pharr International Bridge is to undergo a $35 million infrastructure improvement program, its director has announced.
Luis Bazan was interviewed by the Rio Grande Guardian at the bridge during an event staged to celebrate the start of the 2019-2020 fresh produce season.
“We are part of the donations acceptance program which is a CBP program. We now have a signed MOU with GSA and CBP to develop over $35 million of infrastructure inside our land port of entry,” Bazan said.
“We are going to be building some import lanes for trucks, some new exit lanes, but, more importantly as far as the produce industry is concerned, a new dock expansion with a cold inspection facility, and a new agriculture laboratory and training center for future entomologists.”
The above podcasts features interviews with Bazan and Pharr Chamber of Commerce executive director Rebecca Arizmendi.
