President Donald J. Trump issued a presidential permit on July 30, 2026, authorizing Cameron County, Texas, to own, operate, and maintain the Brownsville and Matamoros Bridge at the U.S.-Mexico border. The permit specifies the bridge, a four-span structure with four vehicle lanes and pedestrian access, must comply with federal laws, undergo inspections by authorized agencies, and meet maintenance standards. Conditions include notifying the president of any ownership transfers, submitting required reports, and maintaining the facility in good repair. The permit remains valid as long as operations continue and may be terminated if the bridge is permanently closed. The document references prior applications and legal frameworks, including 33 U.S.C. 535d, but does not specify funding details or long-term operational plans.
