Building a flood risk management system is challenging. Building one that incorporates a 30-mile diversion, 22 miles of embankments, multiple highway and railroad bridges, three gated structures [the Wild Rice River Structure, the Diversion Inlet Structure and the Red River Structure], two states, and two aqueduct structures is daunting but currently on pace to be completed in 2027.
A major component of this work in environmental mitigation to include relocating fish and mussels.
