What happened
A proposal for the Puerto Verde Global Trade Bridge has been discussed in Texas. Supporters view the bridge as a "next generation commercial port of entry" for the region, linking Maverick County, Texas, and Coahuila, Mexico. The project is intended to connect the border cities of Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras.
