The city of Chaska is on the Minnesota River in Carver County in south central Minnesota. The project consists of approximately 1.1 miles of upgraded levee and 1.5 miles of new levee, with appropriate landward drainage facilities and a storm water pumping station. Nine bridges were removed or replaced or both. Approximately 2.9 miles of paved recreation trails on top of the levee and around Courthouse Lake are part of the project. Status Funds were included in the 1988 appropriations act to initiate construction.
All construction is now complete.
A project dedication ceremony was held on July 28, 1998.
