Rio Bravo floods Ciudad Juárez after gate opening in New Mexico
The Rio Bravo overflowed for the first time in 20 years on Thursday morning after a gate was opened in New Mexico, sending water into Ciudad Juárez where municipal crews worked for about 12 hours near the Las Sandías Bridge.1
Water levels reached 2.96 meters, above the 2.59‑meter flood threshold, but are expected to fall below that level by Thursday afternoon and continue decreasing through the week, according to local measurements.2
