The Army Corps of Engineers considers opening the Bonnet Carre Spillway to prevent Mississippi River flooding.
The Mississippi River is expected to rise significantly due to recent storms, prompting the Army Corps of Engineers to consider opening the Bonnet Carre Spillway in New Orleans to prevent flooding.
The river is projected to crest around April 25 without exceeding the 17-foot mark that typically triggers a spillway opening.
However, the Corps is evaluating a possible partial opening.
Meanwhile, mayors along the river from Missouri to Mississippi have met to discuss flood impacts and recovery efforts after heavy rains.
