Logistics and Distribution
The Progreso International Bridge that connects the U.S. to Mexico is only 7 miles away. Four additional International bridges are less than half an hour away: the Pharr International Bridge in Pharr, TX, the Los Indios International Bridge in Harlingen, TX and two International Bridges in Brownsville, TX. Weslaco gives many choices and access routes if your business is in Reynosa, Matamoros or any other northern Mexico location.
Progreso Port of Entry
Improvements are underway to remodel the main administration building at the Progreso Port of Entry in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The facility will support expanded immigration services and the inspection processes of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The brick, stucco, and galvanized metal building is the architectural centerpiece of an enhancement project that also includes support facilities, offices and the remodeled International Bridge that links Progreso with Nuevo Progreso, Tamaulipas. The bridge, completed last year, features covered walkways and four lanes to speed traffic both directions across the border. Construction of a separate commercial bridge on the east side for heave truck traffic is also in progress. The Port of Entry project is a collaborative effort between Marmon Mok and Structural Engineering Associates, both of San Antonio.
