Milestone reached in South San Francisco Bay Shoreline Phase I Project

Valley Water and its federal and state partners marked the completion of Reaches 1 through 3 levees of the South San Francisco Bay Shoreline Phase I Project—a major milestone in the region’s effort to protect vulnerable communities and critical infrastructure from coastal flooding and sea-level rise. The milestone marks the construction of two miles of engineered coastal flood protection levee north of State Route 237, between Alviso Marina County Park and Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge. The Phase I Project is designed to shield the Alviso neighborhood and parts of North San José. Additionally, this initial phase lays the groundwork for restoring 3,000 acres of tidal wetlands, a vital ecological buffer and habitat for endangered species. This effort is a collaboration between Valley Water, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the California State Coastal Conservancy, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Full coastal flood protection benefits will come to fruition once all the flood risk management components have been constructed from Alviso Slough to Coyote Creek, estimated to be completed in 2035.
