U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s “Smart Wall Map” is an interactive map designed to depict the status of border barriers along the 1,954-mile border between the U.S. and Mexico. CBP is utilizing funds from the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1)” to construct a border barrier system, or a “Smart Wall”, which includes a combination of primary and secondary steel bollard wall, waterborne barriers, patrol roads, and the technology required to tie it all together, such as cameras, lights, and other detection technology. CBP’s Smart Wall Map provides details on the status and locations of border barrier along the Southwest border to include barriers constructed prior to January 20, 2025, in addition to where new Smart Wall is being planned for construction, already under construction or has been completed since January 20, 2025. This information will be updated weekly as construction progresses.

CBP is using the following to define the Smart Wall status:
- Planned — Represents the total mileage planned/funded for construction but the contracts have not yet been awarded.
- Awarded — Represents contracts that have been awarded, and the project is in the design phase or early construction activities have begun.
- Under Construction — Represents projects where border wall panels or waterborne barrier is currently being constructed/deployed.
- Completed — Represents the total mileage that has been completed since 1/20/2025.
U.S. - Mexico Border - 1,954 miles
Existing Barrer (prior to 1/20/2025): ~702 miles of Primary Wall & ~76 miles of Secondary Wall; these include a combination of different barrier types previously constructed
| Barrier Type | Executing Agency | Planned (not yet awarded) | Awarded (Design Phase) | Under Construction | Completed | Total | End State |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Smart Wall (New) | CBP | 476 | 133 | 14 | 9.5 | 632 | 1,422 miles* |
| Department of War | 6 | - | - | - | 6 | ||
| Non-Federal | - | - | - | 82 | 82 | ||
| Primary Smart Wall (Replacement) | CBP | 75 | 15 | 25 | 0.1 | 115 | |

| Secondary Border Wall | CBP | 595 | 29 | 5 | 1.9 | 631 | 707 miles |
* Approximately 532 miles of the U.S. - Mexico border without barrier will be covered by detection technology due to unfavorable terrain or remoteness of location.
CBP is also deploying approximately 550 miles of technology in locations with previously constructed barrier.
The mileages above, including locations on the map, may vary due to rounding and may change slightly as the projects are finalized and contracts are awarded.
