Installation of Big Bend border wall set for August in Texas
CBP says the Big Bend project will add 171.9 miles of wall, roads and detection technology under a federal border security plan.
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection plans to begin border wall panel installation in Texas' Big Bend region in August, with construction for BB3 anticipated to start that month and BB2 and BB1 in September.
- The administration allocated about $7.5 billion for Big Bend security utilizing the $46.5 billion One Big Beautiful Bill Act, planning five sections combining steel bollard walls, patrol roads, and detection technology.
- CBP granted contracts to Fisher Sand & Gravel and Barnard Construction Co., while sending letters to an estimated 400 landowners threatening eminent domain if they refuse to allow land surveys.
- More than 130 groups have called on Congress to cut wall funding, citing the Big Bend sector's low illegal crossing volume of about 1.3% amid mixed messaging from officials regarding construction near parks.
- CBP continues coordinating with the National Park Service and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department as planning proceeds, with public review for the vehicle barrier system project open through July 13, 2026.
