Features: This project consists of a six-gated control structure, a 2100-foot spillway with a stilling basin, and an approach channel in the reservoir leading to the control structure.
Construction Schedule: Phase 1 spillway excavation began in January of 2008 and is now complete. Phase 2 work, led by the Bureau of Reclamation, was awarded in Spring of 2009 for $64.0 million. Phase 2 work consists of excavating out the spillway downstream of the proposed gated structure. The work is expected to be complete in the Fall of 2010 and can be seen by taking the new Folsom Dam Road.
The next phase of work (Phase 3) is the gated control structure. The Corps of Engineers is expected to award this contract in Fall of 2010. Work is expected to be completed in 2015.
Cost: $848,000,000
