Alcorn Lake Shoreline Rehabilitation Construction Project

Construction is scheduled to begin the week of September 7, 2026, to rehabilitate the shoreline of Alcorn Lake.

First Colony Levee Improvement District No. 2 has contracted with Carlson McClain Construction Company to complete improvements to the shoreline around the lake.

The project includes removing the existing bag walls and replacing them with more than 3,200 linear feet of vinyl sheet pile to stabilize the lake banks. During construction, the water level in the lake will be lowered to allow for the removal of portions of the existing bag walls that have collapsed into the lake in recent years.

The contractor is currently scheduled to complete the project, including shoreline restoration, by the end of January 2027, subject to weather conditions and other unforeseen circumstances during the construction period.

For your safety, please refrain from activities around the lake and remain aware of construction equipment and traffic entering and exiting the work zone at the locations shown below.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as these important improvements are completed to help stabilize and protect the shoreline of Alcorn Lake.
