Levee restoration getting closer to completion following 2019 flood

It’s taken the Army Corps of Engineers 4 years after a historic flood along the Missouri River to repair damaged levees. Emergency Management Chief Jud Kneuvean says there’s only one breach that still needs fixed.

“If we get good weather in the next 30 days, the project in Holt County, Missouri will be fixed.”

The Corps is assessing ways to reduce flood risks along the Missouri River in three areas: near Holt County, at Brunswick and near Jefferson City.
