The outfall structure and pump station has been completed for the comite diversion. Got the chance to tour it a few years ago. They are currently building the re-route of hwy 61 so they can build the bridge across hwy 61. Funding of property acquisition, wetland and environmental issues have been the hold ups.

Maybe now it will be considered important enough to fund.

Experts are guessing that this project, working with Darlington, could have seen 5-7 less feet of water in the communities that were hit the hardest.

It seems kind of cheap now.
