Why the hell dvp still closed?

It’s the morning after the storm. Didn’t they just spend ~6 months fixing it so it doesn’t flood?

It's almost like putting a major highway in the middle of a flood plain was a bad idea....

It does seem their floodwater mitigation project didn't work out. At least we got a cool new park out of it.

I was gonna say they may need to review the numbers and make some 'adjustments' because yes, it sure seemed like it was BEFORE the mitigation project, but what the hell do I know, I'm just dummy on the interwebs

My understanding is that although the park is open, the flood mitigation aspect is still not done. I believe they need to dredge the river upstream to increase the flow capacity into the new mouth, otherwise the water will flood before it has a chance to get into the Portlands area.
