VIDEO: Construction Begins On Britain’s ‘Great Wall Of Calais’ To Keep Illegals Out
This week the UK began construction on what has been dubbed the “great wall” near the porous border in Calais, France, to keep illegal migrants from gaining access to vehicles preparing to cross the English channel.
The British government is pouring around £2 million in the project to put up a 4 metre (13ft) high barrier along both sides of the main road into the northern French port.
Plans were revealed at the beginning of September and building is expected to be complete by the end of the year, the BBC reports.
The wall is designed to keep migrants from the nearby ‘Jungle’ migrant camp from attacking and stopping traffic as they attempt to board lorries and cars to make clandestine entries to the UK.
It will be made of smooth concrete to make it difficult to scale and will be extended by fences, many of which are already in place.
