The iconic portion of border wall that stretches into the Pacific Ocean in San Diego is being demolished to make way for a new primary fence, the final piece of a massive years-long project to replace aging border structure in the region.
Construction crews and heavy machinery arrived Friday morning. They gradually cut and removed a section of the fence that begins on the beach, and then covered the hole with what appears to be a temporary barrier. The new barrier is expected to be 18 feet tall at Friendship Park and 30 feet tall elsewhere.of the binational garden in Friendship Park. Once construction is complete the garden will be restored, officials said.
Fernández, who is a member of the group Friends of Friendship Park, said she has no doubt that the artists will repaint the fence once it is replaced. “It’s a very melancholic thing,” he said. “The fact that the U.S. is on the other side and a lot of people can’t go there.” Friendship Park, inside the Border Field State Park, has been used as a meeting point for families unable to cross the border.
