Weather permitting, the City’s Contractor will begin dredging sand from the Black River Canal entrance at Lake Huron today, Wednesday, July 20, 2022. During the dredging operation, the Black River Canal will be closed to recreational watercraft in the area between the Tainter gate and Lake Huron.
Following completion of the dredging work, sand dredged from Black River Canal will be placed at Lakeside Beach.
The contractor will be utilizing Gratiot Avenue and Holland Avenue when transporting sand to Lakeside Beach. There will be intermittent slowed, and stop and go traffic in this area. We encourage the public to avoid the south end of Lakeside Park when the contractor is in the process of hauling and placing the sand.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If there are any further questions regarding this matter, please contact the Department of Public Works 810-984-9730.
