The remaining work includes the placement of decking and railings on the dam, log lifter rails on the remaining sluices, and wall work on the east bank of the river adjacent to the dam.
Following removal of the cofferdams and trestle bridge, grading and landscaping of the east access and construction laydown area will occur.
The remaining construction activities will involve using a vibration attachment to remove steel piles from the existing cofferdam and bridge structure and are expected to continue for the next few months. T
he grading and landscaping will involve large equipment movement on the east bank. These activities will generate higher levels of noise than experienced in recent months.
A reminder that heavy noise-generating activities will be limited to the following times:
Monday – Saturday: 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Sunday: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
