(WJRT) - Construction on Secord Dam is nearing substantial completion, nearly 6 1/2 years after massive floods damaged it and three other nearby dams.In its November construction newsletter, the Four Lakes Task Force says the installation of the bay 1 and bay 2 gates is close to completion, and crews will begin wet testing the gates over the next few weeks after installation is complete.Crews encountered an installation issue over the summer with one of the Secord Dam's spillway gates, pushing the substantial completion date into November. But the Four Lakes Task Force still plans on beginning the Secord Lake refill process on Apr. 15, 2027, bringing the estimated $67.2 million project to an end. The Task Force says with normal snowmelt and spring rain, Secord Lake could fill back to its normal summer level in 7 to 14 days.The Task Force says Edenville Dam is "progressing nicely" as the weather turns colder. The Tittabawassee spillway construction started with the first layer of the spillway steps, while the Tobacco side is continuing to work on the right training walls and the pier 1 and 2 formwork."The warm, dry weather has allowed crews to maintain steady work output at the Secord and Edenville dam sites this fall," said Dave Kepler, president of the Four Lakes Task Force.Stage 2 spillway construction is expected to last through June 2027 at Edenville Dam. The dam's estimated substantial completion date is listed as Sept. 2027.The final Four Lakes Task Force construction update webinar of 2026 is scheduled for Dec. 2 at 5 p.m.</div></body>
