| Purpose | The city of Pharr, in cooperation with the TxDOT and the Federal Highway Administration, proposes to construct an approximately 1.35-mile long twin bridge west of and adjacent to the existing Pharr International Bridge. |
| Description | The project is located between the international boundary with Mexico (Rio Grande River) and the existing Pharr Port of Entry. The proposed project would add a second adjacent ‘twin’ structure, which would consist of a 1.35-mile-long structure upriver (west) of the existing PRIB, built within city of Pharr-owned right of way. Construction would include four 12-foot travel lanes with a six-foot sidewalk on the west side with features that would include two crossovers, additional lighting and electronic signage that would facilitate the flow of traffic, reduce wait times and enhance safety. The proposed project would involve an action in a floodplain. Any environmental documentation or studies, any maps and drawings showing the project location and design, tentative construction schedules, and other information regarding the proposed project are on file and available for inspection Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at The City of Pharr, 118 S. Cage Blvd, Pharr, Texas 78577. Project materials are also available online (scroll down to PUBLIC NOTICE / AVISO PÚBLICO) and below in the Downloads section. These materials will also be available in hard copy form for review at the in-person option. |
