Army Corps of Engineers, Memphis District Announces Groundbreaking on Collaborative Project on Mississippi River

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Memphis District will perform a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday, March 30, 2026, at 1:15 p.m. to signify the beginning of construction to update and expand the existing Greenbelt Landing at the north end of Mud Island near downtown Memphis. 

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Located at River Mile 738, Greenbelt Park spans approximately 102 acres of public green space along the Mississippi River. Originally constructed in the late 1960s as part of the Mississippi River & Tributaries Project, the park has long served as a community hub for recreation and river access.

The Greenbelt Landing Project will enhance the park’s infrastructure and amenities, including repairs to the existing boat ramp, construction of a second upstream ramp, installation of mooring anchors, ADA-compliant parking upgrades, and additional lighting for safety and accessibility.

The project is made possible through $3M in federal Community Directed Funding from the FY22 Workplan, matched by $3M in non-federal funds from the City of Memphis. The Memphis River Parks Partnership, which manages the city’s public parks, is supporting implementation efforts.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers places significant emphasis on partnerships to devise engineering solutions for the nation’s most challenging issues. “Winning with our Partners” is a core Memphis District philosophy centered on cultivating mutually beneficial partnerships characterized by shared success, collaborative relationships, and long-term value creation for America.
