This particular reach of Sacramento River bank has been identified as a critical erosion risk and will be brought up to modern bank protection standards.ĭuration: Construction is slated to start in spring 2022 and will continue through October 2022. Objective: This water-side bank protection repair project is located within the City of Sacramento, California. The authorized work includes up to: 13 miles of seepage cutoff walls, 21 miles of bank protection, 5 miles of levee stabilization, 5 miles of levee raises and widening the Sacramento Weir and bypass. This allows us to more efficiently implement nearly $1.8 billion in upgrades to Sacramento's flood risk management system.
Through the Bipartisan Budget Act, the Corps has received full upfront funding to modernize Sacramento's aging flood infrastructure. Army Corps of Engineers, California’s Central Valley Flood Protection Board, California Department of Water Resources, and the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency have made tremendous progress in reducing the flood risk, but more work remains. But that system, just like a chain, is only as strong as its weakest link. Greater Sacramento, California, is often considered to be the most at-risk region in America for catastrophic flooding, relying on an aging system of levees, weirs and bypasses and Folsom Dam to reduce its flood risk.
