La Linda International Bridge
- La Linda International Bridge
La Linda International Bridge is an international bridge which crosses the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte) on the United States–Mexico border near the cities of Heath Canyon, Texas, and La Linda, Coahuila. The bridge is also known as the "Gerstaker Bridge". The one lane international bridge was constructed in 1964 by Dow Chemical to transport fluorspar from mines in Coahuila into the United States. The unmonitored international bridge was shut down in 1997 by United States / Mexican authorities because of suspected smuggling.
