There was a show on the Discovery Channel awhile back documenting some of the levee restructuing efforts going on. A monumental task that will take years to complete.

At one area the crew was working, they had to dismantle a crane from the turret and hoist it over the canal with another crane, since the equipment exceeded to load limit of the bridge over the canal...it was interesting, because the crane was manuufactured in the 1950s and they had to remove several large bolts removed that were bolted on for 50-odd years!
