A temporary shutdown occurred at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo, Texas, over the weekend. The closure was caused by giant cylindrical federal buoys that accumulated under the bridge's pylons. The World Trade Bridge is a significant commercial port, being the busiest inland port on the Southwest border.

The incident in Laredo is notable, but it is reported that a similar buoy string in Eagle Pass remained in place. Further information on the shutdown and its effects can be found through local news sources, including Yourbasin and Border Report.
