The Kansas City Engineer District is taking multiple actions to repair and mitigate damage done to river structures on the Missouri River from high water over the last several years, including major flooding in 2019.
Crews have been repairing damaged structures all winter, the district said, but work directly on the river has slowed recently due to dangerous floating ice. Even though river repairs have slowed, teams across the Kansas City District continue planning, engineering and diagnostic work in preparation for major repair work that will start this spring.
Physical buoys are pulled from the Missouri River at the end of the navigation season, usually in December, and are added again when the navigation season begins, according to river surveys and flow support levels, said Eric Kvistad, the aids to navigation officer at Sector Upper Mississippi River.
