The Pharr International Bridge has been recognized as the leading produce crossing in the United States, according to a recent ceremony held by the city. Avocados dominate the traffic, with 70% of U.S. avocado imports passing through this bridge. In the weeks leading up to 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 there are approximately 110,000 shipments annually. The bridge is currently undergoing expansion, expected to be completed by November, allowing for further growth in trade.
