Frederick, MD, near where I live, sits in a valley that had been subject to regularly flooding. In the 1970's a pretty bad flood spurred the city and county of Frederick to invest in a flood control project, which has become known and the Carroll Creek project. While most of the flood control occurs through underground tunnels, the city did undertake efforts to make the above ground part visually appealing. The final phase is set to open sometime this summer (pictures on that to come). Here is a little bridge over one area of the project.
