POUDRE VALLEY CANAL SLIDE STABILIZATION PROJECT <br /> i <br /> ' The Poudre Valley Canal Under Construction looking south just east of U.S.287 <br /> Project Description <br /> ' This Emergency Infrastructure Repair Loan was necessitated by the Poudre Valley Canal's <br /> development of severe cracking and leakage resulting in a major landslide which threatened to <br /> ' breach the canal as well as block traffic on U.S. Highway 287 north of Ft. Collins. <br /> The project consisted of lining 1,000 feet of the canal with reinforced concrete and the <br /> removal of several feet of the canal bank.
