Gateway International Bridge is one of three international bridges that cross the U.S.-Mexico border between the cities of Brownsville, Texas, and Matamoros, Tamaulipas. It is owned and operated by Cameron County. Over the past century, it has developed the nickname of "The New Bridge" (Spanish: Puente Nuevo) when the bridge was remodeled back in the 20th century. Despite the fact that the Veteran's International Bridge is newer than Gateway, it still retains its nickname.

This international bridge unites the Matamoros–Brownsville Metropolitan Area, which counts with a population of 1,136,995,^[1] making it the 4th largest metropolitan area in the Mexico-US border.^[2]
