The project is located on the Roanoke River in the City of Roanoke, VA. The plan includes about 6.2 miles of channel widening along the 10-mile project reach through the City of Roanoke, VA. Channel widening will be accomplished with the construction of a benched channel above the elevation of the average stream flow. Other flood damage reduction features include flood proofing at one location, two training walls to prevent floodwater intrusion into low areas along the river, and a flood warning system.
Recreation facilities included as part of the project consist of a 9.5-mile recreation trail along the project reach and access and parking areas

The project was authorized under Water Resources Development Act of 1986, Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act of 1990 and Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act of 2004.
