The Army Corps of Engineers' draft Boston Coastal Storm Risk Management study proposes more than 20 floodwalls, berms and floodgates along 16 miles of the city's 47-mile coastline, roughly $10 billion of work it says would prevent $41 billion in flood damage.

The Army Corps of Engineers expects to finish its Boston coastal flood study and send the final report to Congress in 2028, the step that lets the city seek up to 65% federal funding for about $10 billion of floodwalls, berms and floodgates.
