On August 18, 2015, Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX-28) announced long-awaited renovations to the Lincoln-Juarez International Bridge, also known as Bridge II, which will begin next month thanks to funds he was able to secure during the House Appropriations Committee Fiscal Year 2014 Budget.
Brasfield & Gorrie, LLC of Birmingham, Alabama, has been awarded a $62 million contract from the General Services Administration (GSA) and will oversee the project for the Vehicle Processing Facility at the Juarez-Lincoln Bridge. The renovations include a new bus inspection and passenger processing area to include individual bus stalls, pedestrian inspection lanes, waiting area, restrooms, and a canopy for loading and unloading buses.
Construction is projected to start in September and the project is scheduled to be completed by Spring 2018.
Congressman Cuellar is currently working with GSA to also secure additional funding for renovations to Gateway to the Americas International Bridge, also known as Bridge I, in the near future. These planned renovations will include changes to the exterior of the historic administration building, as well as the interior spaces that will help improve pedestrian flow in a more efficient manner.
