Project is the latest in a growing list of major efforts to reduce Bay Area flood risk from sea level rise.
The South Bay project celebrated Thursday is divided into three massive phases.
The second half of Phase 1 will increase flood protection from Artesian Slough east to Coyote Creek. It is on hold while construction planning, access points, haul routes, staging and easements are still being worked out. Environmental groups say the project is critically needed. But they have criticized the Army Corps of Engineers for its slowness. The Corps first agreed with the water district on the project in 2005.
The Bay Area is farther ahead in addressing sea level rise than many other regions of the world. But the costs are expected to be immense.
