Sussex Region Flood Diversion Project

The Town of Sussex, New Brunswick, is proposing the construction and operation of a new permanent flood control management system. As proposed, the Sussex Region Flood Diversion Project would consist of two new diversion channels and divert water from Trout Creek and Parsons Brook around the Town to the Kennebecasis River during flood events. The project would also include the construction of a two-metre-high flood barrier, water intake control structures, access roads, two road crossings, and the raising of the bridge on Route 890.
