I drove by there on my way home on Saturday afternoon. I agree with the last post... it might be an engineering impossibility. Right now, the water is going through the new passageway, and there are a few people fishing out anything held captive and putting it into the main stream.

If they get a rainstorm prior to completion of the project, its really going to take the project back to square one. The diversion, which looks like a bunch of great big sand bags isnt going to hold a major storm. It looks like its about 6' high.

Interesting project though, hope it doesnt screw anything up. I would think it would have been less expensive to re-route the road than to play the hand they are playing now, and hope for the best.

I wonder, are they going to put a big drift boat access point in with a parking lot and a fast food restraunt?
