Construction workers have started taking down old corrugated steel border fencing near Yuma, Arizona, to make way for a 30-foot steel bollard fence, on the same day that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) waived a variety of environmental, natural resource, and land management laws to allow for the construction.
The work is part of a $324 million contract to Barnard Construction Co. of Bozeman, Montana, to replace 32 miles of border fencing in Arizona, The Arizona Republic reported.
