Map of Proposed Project Alignment

Floodwater will be diverted to a large box culvert that will run under Mearns Meadow Boulevard. A box culvert is a rectangular-shaped pipe installed under the road. The proposed box culvert would run from Quail Valley Boulevard to the Mearns Meadow Detention Pond in Quail Creek Park.
The project will reduce the number of houses at risk of flooding. Although some houses and one road will likely continue to flood in very heavy rainfall, the intensity and depth of flooding for these houses will still be reduced.
Construction Time Frame
Construction will tentatively start in early 2021.
Estimated Budget
$16.6 million for construction
