A 2.3-mile fence is being built at an Austrian-Slovenian border crossing to better control the inflow of migrants, Austrian media reported Monday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The first metal posts of a future mesh fence were installed at a checkpoint near the Austrian locality of Spielfeld in the southeastern Styria state on Monday afternoon, Austria’s Krone newspaper reported.
Austrian soldiers from a battalion stationed at the southern city of Villach were helping a Tirol-based construction firm to assemble the over-eight-feet-high fence, according to reports.
Maj. Gerald Trampusch, in charge of the construction, said the fence was due to be completed by Christmas.
