The West Bank and Vicinity Hurricane Protection Project has been under construction since 1991. The project contains approximately 67 miles of levees and floodwalls, including a sector-gate in the Harvey Canal. This federally funded, locally cost shared project, when complete, will provide hurricane flood protection for 250,000+ citizens living and working in the communities of west Jefferson Parish, Algiers in Orleans Parish, Belle Chasse, in Plaquemines Parish and St. Charles Parish up to the Davis Pond Fresh Water Diversion Project.
