Kinnickinnic River Flood Management and Watercourse Rehabilitation: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The Kinnickinnic River (KKR) Watershed is an approximately 25 square mile, highly urbanized drainage area, located in south central Milwaukee County. The KKR has undergone considerable alteration in the past, including channel widening and realignment, and the installation of concrete lining. The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) has initiated a series of flood management projects within the KKR Watershed that address watercourse rehabilitation, neighborhood revitalization, and the provision of community and recreational benefits. MMSD recently completed an "early out" final design and construction project that included the replacement of the South 6th Street Bridge, and the rehabilitation of approximately 1,000 feet of KKR watercourse. Watercourse improvements included: removal of 500 feet of concrete lined channel; development of 1,000 feet of stone-lined main channel, with stable floodplain areas and embankments; and the provision of appropriate flood management, native vegetated communities, and enhancements that facilitate maintenance and community access to the river.
