"74 Miles of Border Wall Completed"
We are likely somewhere just over 100 miles by now. It is going to be harder to keep track, as more crews are working simultaneously. We are running between 2 to 3 miles per week, and accelerating. This tsunami of money (and even more is coming) is going to ramp up the pace significantly, so we should be running a mile per day or better by the election.
Carla Provost, the Chief of the US Border Patrol (an authoritative source) was providing weekly updates on her twitter feed (@USBPChief), before the holidays. She has not started back with it, but the last one was as of 20 December 2019.

OK enough article on DHS tour of Yuma AZ with 5 border wall systems with 25 miles done so far. Senator Martha McSally on site. Lots of pictures.
The $228.6 million to replace 22 miles of fencing in San Luis came from funds that Congress appropriated in the 2018 budget. Another $121 million to replace the 5 miles at the Colorado River that Wolf visited on Friday came from Pentagon funds that allow the military to build barriers in high trafficking areas.
The fate of the remaining three projects with a combined estimated value of $530 million is still uncertain. That money would cover the construction of 64 miles of 30-foot bollards along the Barry Goldwater Bombing Range and the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge in Yuma County.
