U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District, Commander Col. Christopher W. Sallese (right) visits a newly-built jetty (completed in October 2010) located at the Lower Colorado River Authority Matagorda Bay Nature Park in Matagorda County, Texas. The jetty is 2,700 feet long, of which 1,140 feet projects into the water to help reduce dredging frequency and channel maintenance costs at the mouth of the Colorado River. The Corps is currently dredging the mouth of the Colorado River, which will improve navigation safety. The $20.4 million dredging and jetty contract awarded Sept. 2, 2009, was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and is one of 20 ARRA projects totaling $298 million in the Galveston District.
