Trent-Severn Waterway Community Update – Drag Lake Dams
Contractor Mobilizing to Site
Drag Lake Dam
November 22, 2016 – The rehabilitation of the Drag Lake Dams continues this week as the contractor mobilizes on site.

Once the construction site has been set up, the first stage of work will be the installation of temporary cofferdams upstream of both the North and South dams.
