President Joe Biden has given the green light for the expansion of Laredo's World Trade Bridge, marking it as one of three bridge projects along the southern border to receive approval. The decision, made last Friday, is expected to alleviate traffic and facilitate smoother trade. Laredo Mayor Dr. Victor Trevino expressed gratitude for the support and indicated a forthcoming meeting to discuss binational collaboration. The long-awaited expansion project has garnered appreciation from local lawmakers who championed the initiative. The expansion proposes to construct an additional eight-lane bridge for northbound traffic and expand the existing bridge span from eight-lanes to ten. The move has been praised by local lawmakers and is seen as a crucial step forward in enhancing trade infrastructure and fostering economic growth in Laredo and across South Texas.
