How far away is Matamoros, Mexico away from the border?

Question

I'm going to Matamoros, Mexico for a mission trip this summer and I was just wandering how far away is it from the border between Mexico and Texas.

Answer 1

matamoros is on the border. it is directly across the rio grande river from brownsville, texas. there are actually 3 international bridges in brownsville that cross the border into matamoros.

Answer 2

It's right on the border. there are two bridges in Brownsville Texas that cross the rio grande. when you go over either bridge, you're in Matamoros, Mexico.
