Big news Grand Rapids - we are officially in-river to bring back the rapids!

In-river construction began this morning to remove four low-head dams from just upstream of Bridge Street Bridge to the Fulton Street Bridge. The July 1 in-river start aligns with regulatory requirements designed to protect fish spawning periods and prevent invasive sea lampreys from moving past the Sixth Street Dam.

Over the coming weeks, the Taplin Group, the City’s contractor for the lower reach project, will build causeways to allow for construction equipment to safely travel in the river. A small isolation system (cofferdam) will also be built to isolate a section of Dam 2 to construct the boulder arch feature. All other in-river features will be built in the river as flow conditions allow.

After years of dreaming and planning, we're thrilled to finally be in-river! For ongoing project updates and information, please visit: https://engage.grandrapidsmi.gov/lowerreach
