The city of Brownsville has announced the temporary closure of the Gateway International Bridge.

The closure is due to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador visit to Matamoros, Tamaulipas.

The bridge will be closed to motor and pedestrian traffic beginning Friday, and will last until Tuesday, Sept. 24.

President Obrador will be unveiling a sculpture in honor of Catarino Garza, a revolutionary from the state.
