A waste of money. South Louisiana is washing away.
You can’t replicate the Mississippi River running full bore for centuries with a diversion project.
Remember when they used to put Christmas trees out every year to save the coast ?

Can you imagine how long this is going to take? Takes the state three years to build a 50' concrete bridge in a rural area by my house.

He estimates the diversion will build anywhere from 20 square miles (52 square kilometers) to 40 square miles (104 square kilometers) over the next 30 to 50 years.
that doesnt seem like all that much land.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which permitted the project last year, projected creation of as much as 21 square miles (54 square kilometers) by 2070. Subsidence — the natural sinking of land — and sea level rise will diminish the returns, so much so that a net loss of land remains likely. But that can be seen as a factor increasing the importance of the effort.
These people are fricking ridiculous. How many seaside cities have been wiped out by sea level rise (not erosion)?

Couldn't they just open the various gates we have such as the Bonne Carre and Atchafalaya and it be a lot cheaper?

30 years from now it will not be complete. They’ll need more funding and they will keep pushing it one more year….oh wait, that’s been done!

As they say, when the big banks stop financing coastal projects and the wealthy also stop living there that's when you get worried.

I flew into MSY yesterday and our flight path was just east of the Mississippi. There is no hope for “saving”the coast. This “drop in the bucket”project at an optimistic price of 25 million dollars per acre over 50 years proves 2 things:
1 - There will never be enough money, time, or expertise to make a meaningful difference, and
2 - Politicians will use the unchangeable inevitability of coastal erosion to confiscate billions more from taxpayers that will be wasted and stolen.
