Border fence work resumes after Dolly


Associated Press

While the Rio Grande Valley was busy with Hurricane Dolly and her aftermath, contractors began work on the area's first two segments of the border fence project.

Two small pieces of Hidalgo County's combined levee-border wall are part of 70 miles of border barriers planned for the lower Rio Grande Valley.

Workers missed a day while Dolly passed, but otherwise the project was unaffected, Hidalgo County spokeswoman Cari Lambrecht said Monday.
