Natomas Basin Reach B Levee
Sacramento, CA

MVE is providing a variety of services for the Natomas Basin Reach B Levee project. The Reach B (I-5 Window Project) is located under the I-5 Overpass on Garden Highway on the left bank of the Sacramento River. Work for this portion of the Natomas Basin Project will be along the crest of the levee, and includes widening the levee by expanding the levee into a paved parking lot area on the waterside. The work also includes the construction of a seepage berm on the landside of the project footprint. The current intersection and ramp for North Bayou Way would be rebuilt to meet the new grade of the levee. These improvements are necessary to bring the area’s levees into conformance with current Corps and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood risk reduction requirements. The overall purpose of the project is to reduce the risk of loss of life and damage to property.
