The Memphis District's St. John's Outlet Scour Repairs project, near New Madrid, Missouri, continues making progress as workers are now placing 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.
The project is currently achieving its defined goals, meeting all requirements, and the Project Delivery Team is on track to safely deliver the project within the agreed upon time frame and budget, while also maintaining quality standards and meeting stakeholder expectations.
As all ways we very much appreciate our project partners—the St. Johns Levee and Drainage District and Contractor partner Tarpan Construction, LLC.
