Old style Border Wall lift gates in an arroyo:
The new ones will be much bigger, and backed up by a tall bridge, to allow rapid access across the flooded river, and Border Patrol to monitor up and down the river with both fixed and mobile sensors (like a Patrol vehicle stationed in the middle).

What lifts the gates?
That cable in the pic is not taunt and looks to be a safety stop during construction.
The loop at the top is not supporting weight.
