This $480 million project, which is a key element of the $10.4 billion Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Program and a cornerstone of the SFWMD Acceler8 Program, will consist of an aboveground 190,000-acre-foot reservoir with approximately 20 miles of levees/embankment, seepage canals, a new pump station, and a new four-lane bridge on US Highway 27. Parsons will be responsible for the pump station, hydraulic structures, bridge, and roadwork. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
