One more fun fact is that the first 60 feet from the border in New Mexico, Arizona and California have a special legal status under the so-called “Roosevelt Reservation”.
In those States, they can skip the public comment period, if their project will be confined within the reservation (as it was with the 20 mile segment running West from El Paso).
There have also been cases where they did not publicly announce contract awards, and the workers just showed up a few days before groundbreaking (like the four miles in Downtown El Paso’s Chihuahita neighborhood). Sometimes, the public announcement of the award has been done by (or first by) the winning contractors in a press release, rather than the Contracting Officer on the CBP website.
