According to CBP, more than $70 million was awarded to Granite Construction Company to construct approximately seven miles of new border wall in Hidalgo County, Texas, within the U.S. Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector. This contract was awarded by taking advantage of funds previously allotted for border wall construction under CBP’s Fiscal Year 2021 budget. The seven miles of border wall panels will close critical openings in the wall that were left incomplete due to canceled contracts during the Biden Administration.
