Project Update | St. Johns Outlet Scour Repair
Crews working on the St. Johns Outlet Scour Repairs project near New Madrid, Missouri, are making great progress as they now work to place stone to protect the outlet control structure and bayou from erosion and scouring due to the interior drainage and Mississippi River backwater effects. This is part of our maintenance efforts to maintain the Mississippi River and Tributaries Project, ensuring the continued reliability of our flood risk management system in the valley.
