Corps wraps up vital Napa River ARRA construction contract
A new railroad bridge spans across the Napa River in Napa, Calif., on July 10, 2012. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed the new bridge, replacing an older bridge that was five feet lower in elevation and collected large debris that created a dam in the river. The bridge was constructed as part of a $65 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 contract raised more than 3,300 feet of railroad track and replaced two bridges. The Napa River Flood Control Project is a joint effort of the Corps, city of Napa and the Napa Flood Control and Water Conservation District.
