SHORELINE PROJECT UPDATE: Construction of Reaches 1-3 levee continues and has come a long way since construction started in early 2022. Excavation for Reach 2/3 is nearing completion and most of Reach 1 levee backfill is at target elevation above 15.2 feet. Major earthwork is expected to be completed this calendar year, with remaining work to be completed in Summer 2025. ABOUT THE PROJECT: The South San Francisco Bay Shoreline Project is a multi-agency effort between the USACE San Francisco District, Valley Water and the State Coastal Conservancy to reduce coastal flood risk for residents, commuters and businesses from the Alviso area of San Jose to the city of Palo Alto. The project will also restore and enhance 2,900 acres of tidal marsh and related habitat that was lost due to former salt pond production activities and improve recreational and public access along the bay shoreline.
