Structural repairs have begun at the Percy Lake Dam in Dysart et al, after an inspection confirmed deterioration of the concrete structure.
According to Parks Canada officials, the work is part of an ongoing commitment to maintaining the safety and functionality of critical water management infrastructure across the Trent-Severn waterway.
Officials said the project will involve pier rehabilitation to ensure the dam’s continued operability, as well as repairs to the channels that hold the stop logs in place. A new timber deck will also be installed.
Work is expected to continue through February.
Public access across to the Percy Falls Dam is closed in the interest of public safety during construction.
