Construction on a border wall in the Big Bend area is nearing its start. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has announced that installation of border wall panels is expected to begin late this summer or early fall.

Signs of preparation for the construction project have been observed in the region. A worker housing facility, referred to as a "man camp", is being developed to support the construction effort. Further details on the project's progress and timeline can be found through U.S.
