Blackwater Tunnel: Clean Water Underground | Roanoke News
Description
Lynchburg just completed a massive underground tunnel — 100 feet deep — designed to stop sewage from flooding Blackwater Creek and the James River during storms. This $100 million project, the city’s largest ever, will cut overflow by 98%, redirecting stormwater and waste to treatment plants instead of waterways. Funded mostly by grants, construction is nearing completion and will finish next year, promising cleaner water and a healthier environment for years to come.
