Workers are making progress on the Bayou Chene Flood Control Structure, which is designed to block backwater flooding, said state Sen. Bret Allain. The structure will swing a barge into place in a permanent gate when the opening of the Morganza structure sends more water into the Atchafalaya. The construction of the major work on the Bayou Chene structure is expected to be complete in September.
