The first panels for the El Paso project were installed at 11:20 a.m., MDT, Aug. 23, 2019, near Columbus, New Mexico (near El Paso, TX.) next to the existing Santa Teresa project. The border barrier project spans approximately 46 miles, replacing existing barrier with steel bollard barriers. USACE is providing direction and oversight for Department of Defense (DOD)-funded construction of border barrier projects from California to Texas. These projects are being executed by USACE, as directed through the U.S. Army by the Secretary of Defense, in response to DHS’s request for assistance to help secure the United States southern border by blocking drug-smuggling corridors through the construction of roads and fences, and the installation of lighting under 10 U.S.C. § 284. DOD and USACE are executing these projects in support of Customs and Border Protection.
