New designs are now being employed across rivers that cross the US/Mexican Border, Like the Tijuana River in San Diego, and the San Pedro River in Arizona.
Bollards with flood gates block the riverbeds, overwatched by a separate nearby bridge, providing high speed access to Border Patrol and Emergency Services, and a mounting platform for technology to monitor straight up and down the river.
