The suit against Fisher Industries by the “butterfly people” was to be heard in federal court in McAllen,TX today. However, judge permitted construction to resume in mid-January. Not sure how judge will rule this time around...

"The suit against Fisher Industries by the “butterfly people” was to be heard in federal court in McAllen,TX today (5 Feb)."

Just saw that the Government (IBWC) said that they needed time to complete their modeling.

The judge granted a 60 day extension. The three parties come back to court on 8 April.

The Mcallen Monitor reports: "If the IBWC determines the riverside wall will have no substantial impact on the Rio Grande, the government has indicated it will dismiss the lawsuit. However, court records show the two sides estimate discovery could stretch through the end of September should the lawsuit continue."

No doubt the wall will be finished by April there. It should be wrapping up soon. 2.5 miles were done on 30 January. Only 3 to 3.5 are going in there. Besides the bollards, they have a full concrete patrol road going in (as well as lights cameras and alarms). I'd guess that they will pour the road on the way out, after the bollards are done, and the utilities laid in.
