Ste. Genevieve Levee District No. 3 met on April 13 to discuss a future crown widening project.
Levee superintendent Norm Gallup said the crown widening project is necessary because there’s currently not enough room to “set up a crane properly.”
Gallup said cranes need to shore themselves on the inside bank, which isn’t ideal.
Cranes are used the levee to help perform routine maintenance and repair, Gallup added.
Gallup recently spoke to Brenton Barkley with the United State Corps of Engineers on both crown widening and the sign permits. Barkley told Gallup said he was waiting final approval from a top-level member of the Corps before proceeding.
