The United States Army Corps of Engineers contractor, Granite Construction, has begun work to widen the Sacramento Bypass flood control structure. According to a Yolo County press release, the Sacramento Weir Widening Project is taking place along Old River Road, also known as County Road 22, just north of the city of West Sacramento city limits. This crucial step toward bolstering flood control measures along the Sacramento River aims to enhance flood stage management both upstream and downstream of the Sacramento Weir during high-flow events, thereby mitigating flood risks and safeguarding the areas adjoining the Sacramento River.
