Construction of Improvements to Mayhew Levee and Drain
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), in partnership with the Central Valley Flood Protection Board (formerly the Reclamation Board) (CVFPB) and the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA) is constructing flood improvements to the Mayhew Levee and Drain. |
The work comprises raising and widening the existing levee, and constructing a slurry wall beneath the levee. A closure structure will be constructed near the mouth of the drain to prevent American River waters from backing up the drain, while still allowing internal drainage to drain to the American River.
A contract was awarded to FCI Constructors (FCI) in August 2007, and FCI began work in March 2008. During 2008, improvements to the levee were constructed. About every week, we will update this webpage with a description of the activities expected to occur in the subsequent six weeks. |

The walking path immediately adjacent to the American River remains open, but this can only be accessed from points east or west of the Project area. Please make sure your dogs are leashed when walking along the outside of the orange fencing, near the construction area. We appreciate your cooperation and your respect for these temporary restrictions. Allowing the contractor to focus on completing the improvements benefits everyone. |
2. During the past two weeks, the contractor has been forming the transition walls and backfilling along the sides of the closure structure.
3. During the next six weeks, the contractor will continue backfilling along the sides of the closure structure, completing construction of the transition walls and shotcreting the sides of the channel. Some of these activities involve minor concrete pours. Concrete trucks will enter the site from Folsom Boulevard and will exit at Grist Mill. Expect to see concrete trucks on the levee. All drivers will be reminded of the speed limits along the levee. |
Please Remember that the American River Parkway is closed to public access
from sundown to sunset, 7 days a week. |
