MISSION, Texas – Enrique Castro was interviewed at a recent groundbreaking ceremony for a project to expand Anzalduas International Bridge.
Castro is a leader with Index Reynosa, the leading maquiladora trade association.
Castro told the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service that expansion of Anzalduas International Bridge is desperately needed by the maquiladora industry.
The $83-million-dollar infrastructure project will see the construction of commercial inspection facilities, including inspection booths, inspection docks, equipment, roadway, parking and sidewalks. The project will make improvements to the southbound inspection facilities and construct northbound facilities.
The project was made possible by a $25 million INFRA grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, a $22 million grant from the Texas Department of Transportation and a $63 million loan from the North American Development Bank to the City of McAllen.
