The first fund transfer recently sent from DoD is expected to put 47 miles of wall system on contract for New Mexico this month. It will roughly extend the new barrier from El Paso, almost to the Eastern edge of Hidalgo County (where the border corners South). Work is expected to begin in late May.
DHS requested that DoD fund two projects in New Mexico (El Paso Sector of the Border). They have already funded the first (described above), and are expected to fund the second soon (which builds in Hidalgo County, out from the Ports of entry).
Here are the details from the DHS 25 Feb Memo:
El Paso Project 1 (already funded): The project includes 46 miles of vehicle barrier replacement beginning approximately 17.5 miles west of the Columbus Port of Entry continuing east in non-contiguous segments to approximately 35 miles east of the Columbus Port of Entry within the Luna and Dona Ana Counties, NewMexico.StartCoordinate:31.7837,-107.923151;EndCoordinate:31.783689,-107.679049; StartCoordinate:31.783672,-107.573919;EndCoordinate:31.783741,-107.038154
