摘要：	The New Orleans Engineer District has awarded a contract for the second levee reach of the West Shore Lake Pontchartrain (WSLP) Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction project. The planned system will protect about 60,000 Louisianans in St. Charles, St. James and St. John the Raptist parishes against flooding from Lake Pontchartrain. The system of earthen levees, a T-wall, drainage structures and pumping stations will begin at the western guide levee of the Bonnet Carre Spillway and tie in to the Mississippi River levee near Garyville, La. In March, The New Orleans District awarded the $25.5 million contract to Mandeville, La.-based B&K Construction, which will build "levee reach 107," a 1.7-mile-long segment of earthen levee in St. John the Baptist Parish just north of Reserve. B&K will build the levee to an elevation of 9.6 feet. The WSLP project, a joint effort of the New Orleans District, Louisiana's Costal Protection and Restoration Authority and the Pontchartrain Levee District, will be an 18.5-mile system, including 17.5 miles of levees and a 1-mile T-wall. The estimated total cost is $760 million.
