Infrastructure
Brownsville was built to move. Here, infrastructure is not an afterthought — it is the foundation of global business success. Companies choose Brownsville because the critical assets they need are already in place and ready to scale. With direct access to deepwater shipping, cross-border trade, interstate highways, air cargo, and rail networks, Brownsville connects industries to the world without barriers or bottlenecks.
The Port of Brownsville spans more than 40,000 acres and is the largest land-owning public port in the United States. It offers deepwater access, Foreign Trade Zone benefits, and direct rail and truck connectivity, making it one of the most strategic industrial gateways in North America.
The Brownsville & Rio Grande International Railway operates 45 miles of track that connects to Union Pacific and Kansas City Southern de Mexico. Freight moves seamlessly across borders, reaching major markets in the U.S. heartland and throughout Latin America.
Brownsville’s connection to Interstate 69E and Interstate 169 provides fast, direct trucking routes to major Texas cities and cross-continental corridors. Companies shipping products or materials move with fewer stops, less congestion, and faster time to market.
Brownsville-South Padre Island International Airport offers passenger and air cargo services with direct flights into major U.S. hubs. Just north, Valley International Airport in Harlingen expands options even further. For businesses needing flexible logistics, air cargo infrastructure is already operational and growing.
Brownsville’s infrastructure advantage is not just what exists today. It is how the city is preparing for what is next. With investments in port expansions, rail enhancements, and trade corridors, Brownsville continues to build the backbone of a faster, smarter, and more connected global economy.
