Levee Repair on Bridgeton Road

Starts May 30th
Expected to Last 7 - 10 Days

On May 30, MCDD will begin working with contractors to repair damage to the levees caused by recent high water on the Columbia River. The work will be focused in two areas.

On the North side of Bridgeton road across from NE 1st Pl.
At this location work is expected to begin approximately May 30, and last for 7-10 working days.

On the North side of Marine Drive, just west from NE 122nd Ave.
At this location work is expected to begin approximately June 12, and last for 5 working days.

All work is permitted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and repaired areas will be more resistant to future erosion because of the repairs.

The project will:

• Excavate the damaged areas to remove loose debris
• Place geotextile and rock fill into damaged and eroded areas.
• Ensure the repair area transitions smoothly to the existing slope
• Prepare the disturbed area to be seeded with grass.

MCDD been working with partners, residents and landowners immediately adjacent to work areas to manage parking and other issues.

Some minor traffic delays may be necessary as crews transport materials and heavy equipment to the work sites.
