Napa dry bypass nears completion
Redwood covered gates will block McKinstry Street traffic from the bypass area during large storm events. The bypass creates a shortcut for water in the Napa River to avoid a large bend in the river that historically backs up and floods into downtown. The dry bypass is the latest in a series of flood risk reduction projects the Corps of Engineers and Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District are partnering on to help prevent flooding in downtown Napa. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for August 4, 2015, to celebrate the project's completion. (U.S. Army photo by Luke Burns/Released)
