The Seabrook Floodgate Structure is a flood barrier in the Industrial Canal, expected to be completed in 2011. The floodgate is designed by the Army Corps of Engineers to protect the Industrial Canal and the surrounding areas from a storm surge from Lake Ponchartrain. It consists of a sector gate and two vertical lift gates.
The floodgate was authorized by Congress in 2006 and will operate in tandem with the Lake Borgne Surge Reduction Barrier to reduce the risk of storm surge damage to some of the New Orleans region's most vulnerable areas – New Orleans East, metro New Orleans, the Ninth Ward, Gentilly and St. Bernard Parish.
