Comite Diversion Project Contracts Finalized; Completion Set for 2028
All 23 contracts for the Comite Diversion Project have been awarded, with construction ongoing on six contracts. The project aims to enhance flood risk management in Southeast Louisiana.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded all contracts for the Comite Diversion Project, which is set for completion by spring 2028. Currently, six contracts are under construction, including activities on Highway 19, and over 500,000 cubic yards of material have been removed from the channel.
The 12-mile canal will divert floodwater from the Comite River to the Mississippi River, thereby increasing flood resilience in Southeast Louisiana. This initiative represents a significant investment in community safety, indicating strong collaboration among local stakeholders and governmental entities.
