Construction has begun in Big Bend National Park on a project to add border barriers and roads. Bulldozers have broken ground in the park, marking the start of the work. The project is proceeding despite opposition from various groups.

The construction is taking place in a protected wilderness area, with native vegetation being cleared along the Rio Grande's riparian corridor. Video footage has captured the initial stages of the work, which is being carried out by contractors. Further details on the project and its progress can be found through the San Antonio Current, which has reported on the initial stages of construction in Big Bend National Park.
