The Memphis District awarded a $6.99 million contract to Donald Bond Construction, Inc. for a project that will restore more than 23 miles of channels across Ditch 9, Ditch 10, and the Straight Slough, all located near Trumann, Arkansas. This contract marks a transformational step forward in how the district delivers critical water resource projects across the region as it strengthens the district’s ability to respond quickly to civil works’ needs; this ultimately helps with reducing timelines, improving efficiency, and aligning more directly with administration and Army priorities to deliver leaner infrastructure projects faster and more effectively.
