Geotechnical work for new border wall construction is scheduled to begin as early as this week in the U.S. Border Patrol’s (USBP) Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector in Hidalgo County near Doffin Road.
The work is scheduled to last up to one week and will include the use of a drill rig to collect soil samples at the toe of the existing International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) flood levee.
While this location is adjacent to the Eli Jackson Cemetery, plans for border barrier alignment and enforcement zone in this location will not directly impact the Eli Jackson Cemetery.
