Good Afternoon,

The Corps of Engineers has confirmed construction of the barrier will begin on Monday, September 29th.  Initial plans for the barrier, which will be located at Mile 63.7 AHP, are to build it to 55 feet below the water line.  Once construction to 55 feet is complete, the Corps will monitor salinity levels to determine if additional height is required.  If additional height is required a notch in the barrier will be provided to allow for the passage of deep draft vessels. 

 

One way traffic through the area and closure of the Alliance Anchorage will be in place during construction.  A copy of the Coast Guard MSIB concerning the construction will be sent once received. 

 

Please let our office know if you have questions and continue to monitor your email for updates
