Border Wall Construction Resumes in San Diego County

Construction to fill gaps in the U.S.-Mexico border wall is resuming in San Diego County, with multiple projects scheduled to begin as early as next month. The planned work includes closing a 350-foot gap in Smuggler's Gulch near Imperial Beach, filling two additional sections east of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry—one 600 feet long and another 1,500 feet—and completing a more than two-mile stretch near Jacumba Hot Springs. These areas have been identified by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as key transit corridors for illegal crossings and human smuggling. . .
