Installation

Leaders and staff from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers oversee BMGR-1 project construction and bollard installation Feb. 9 near Yuma, Arizona. The BMGR-1 border barrier project spans approximately 15 miles, replacing older fencing with steel bollard barriers. USACE is replacing permanent border barriers along the southern border of the U.S. at the direction of the U.S. Army by the Secretary of War, in response to the presidential national emergency declaration dated Jan. 20, 2025, authorizing the use of Section 2803 of Title 10, U.S. Code.
