This project will plan, design and build two (2) small projects as part of the larger Moores Creek Drainage Extension project.  The extension of Moores Creek Drainage system was investigated in a 2017 engineering study that was completed by JEO for the City of Grand Island.  This study was based on a past Central Platte Natural Resources District (CPNRD) drainage plan for Grand Island and focused on hydrologic sizing and operation of Moores Creek drainage ditch to serve current areas of southwest Grand Island, as well as the proposed US Highway 30 realignment project.  A partial design was completed and the City coordinated with the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) to incorporate provisions for the drain extension in the US Highway 30 Realignment project. 

The two (2) small projects to be designed and constructed consist of the culvert extension of the ditch under Engleman Road near the Grand Island Utilities water storage tower (2021-D-2(A)), and the detention cell on the southwest corner of Old Potash Highway and North Road (2021-D-2(B)).
