Sabine River Debris Removal Project

by in Debris RemovalFeatured

On January 3, 2025, the Orange County Drainage District received a request for assistance from the Texas Department of Transportation (“TexDOT”) to remove accumulated floating debris from the Sabine River Bridge at Highway 12. The accumulated debris was placing undue stress on the bridge structure.

The District dispatched equipment to the location and removed the accumulated debris with the assistance of TexDOT and the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. The District removed the debris and restored water flow under the structure.

The District would like to thank TexDOT and LaDOTD for their efforts in this restoration project.
