The Foster City Levee, owned and maintained by the City, surrounds the majority of the outer bay-front perimeter of the City to provide flood protection. The Levee Improvements Project will increase the height and width of the levee to improve protection against storm/tide surges, meet sea level rise projections through the year 2050, maintain FEMA accreditation, and make the levee more resistant to earthquakes. A contract was awarded to Shimmick Construction in July 2020, with an issuance of Notice to Proceed in September 2020. Construction is ongoing with a completion date of January 2024.
