LORENZO, Idaho – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a contract today to conduct temporary emergency levee repairs on an eroded section of the Heise-Roberts Levee System, located on the Snake River near Lorenzo, Idaho, about 3.7 miles downstream from the U.S. Route 20 bridge. The contractor’s crews and equipment are in the process of mobilizing to the site to begin work. Hydraulic and civil engineers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Walla Walla District deployed to Jefferson County on May 16, 2018, to provide emergency-management assistance to Jefferson County, Idaho, and help stabilize the levee.
