Donna city leaders are in the process of expanding the Donna-Rio Brave International Bridge.

Currently, the bridge only accommodates passenger vehicles and empty commercial trucks crossing into Mexico. The expansion will allow fully loaded commercial trucks to cross from the south going north, but first, the city needs contractors to build a new inspection facility.

"The expansion is for fully loaded commercial trucks to come from the south going north," Donna Mayor David Moreno said.
