01:10 Teddy to Bring Dangerous Surf to East Coast The hurricane won't interact with land in the U.S., but it's still bringing dangerous conditions along the coast.

At a Glance The 130-foot section of wall had recently been set in concrete.

The concrete had not cured before high winds began blowing Wednesday.

The section is part of the 450 miles the Trump administration hopes to build this year.

High winds toppled a 130-foot-long section of new border wall Wednesday between California and Mexico.

A row of trees kept the 30-foot-tall metal panels from falling into a street in Mexicali, Mexico , according to KYMA.

The section that fell had recently been set in a new concrete foundation in Calexico, California , Customs and Border Protection Agent Carlos Pitones told CNN. Pitones said the concrete had not yet cured, and it wasn't able to stand up against the wind.

Gusts up to 40 mph were recorded about 9 miles north of the wall in El Centro, California, according to weather.com meteorologist Jonathan Erdman. The gusts hit 23 mph on the east side of Mexicali, he said.

“Luckily, Mexican authorities responded quickly and were able to divert traffic from the nearby street ,” Pitones told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The panels are part of project to replace 11 miles of border barrier in the area, according to the Union-Tribune.

President Donald Trump campaigned on a pledge to build a wall along the entire 2,000-mile-long U.S./Mexico border. The details of that pledge have changed a number of times over the past three years.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration announced it has built 100 miles of new wall, much of it replacing existing construction, CNN reported. The administration's goal is to build 450 miles by the end of this year.
