New Orleans Renewal - Levees Rebuilt

Description:The levees in New Orleans that were decimated by the effects of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, are finally in place. The 113 mile long construction made up of levees, flood walls and pumps cost a reported 14 and a half billion dollars. There are two fifty foot lift gates which allow boat access to the waterways and can be shut to block the water from a nearby lake. (1:18)
