Village Creek Levee near Newport scheduled for permanent repairs

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is preparing to begin permanent repairs to the Village Creek Levee near Newport, Arkansas, later this fall following emergency stabilization work completed earlier this spring. The images document current conditions at the project site including aerial views of the levee, areas of remaining erosion and improvements made to an existing roadway to support access for repair operations. Permanent repairs will address remaining erosion and strengthen the levee to improve long-term reliability.
