Groundbreaking held for extensive Lookout Slough wetland project
FAIRFIELD — A groundbreaking ceremony for the extensive Lookout Slough Tidal Habitat Restoration and Flood Management Project was recently held, nearly a year after the project was stalled due to public access concerns.
The Lookout Slough Project is a $118.86 million, 3,000-acre habitat restoration and flood management project in the Cache Slough Complex in Solano County.
The Department of Water Resources and Ecosystem Investment Partners are heading the project.
State, federal, local and other interested parties gathered last week on the levee portion of Liberty Island Road to launch the actual work, which includes breaching the road in nine locations.
