· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Pharr International Bridge has been recognized as the leading produce crossing in the United States, according to a recent announcement from the city. Avocados dominate the traffic, with 70% of U.S. avocado imports passing through this bridge. In the weeks before the Super Bowl, around 120 million pounds of avocados were transported. Other significant imports include tomatoes, peppers, and papayas. Pharr International Bridge Director Luis Bazan noted that the bridge handles approximately 110,000 shipments annually. With ongoing expansion work expected to finish in November, the bridge is set for further growth in produce imports.
