Traffic was temporarily halted at the Progreso International Bridge after a Thursday morning bomb threat.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesman Eddie Perez reported the bomb threat was phoned in at 10:45 a.m. Thursday.

Perez said the threat was called into the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office.

Authorities temporarily redirected traffic to other international bridges.

Perez said an all-clear sign was given at 11:15 a.m. Thursday.

The international bridge is now open again with traffic headed in both direction.

An investigation will continue into who made the bomb threat.
