Michigan's 85-year-old Brooklyn Dam removed in $2M river restoration project
Michigan's Brooklyn Dam, originally constructed in 1939, has been successfully removed following nearly five years of planning and construction work. The project carried a price tag of $2 million and targeted a 21-acre waterway that previously held between 4 and 8 feet of water. The removal has transformed the area into a shallower, faster-moving stream better suited to natural river dynamics. Authorities expect the restoration to enhance fish migration, encourage the return of native plant species, and help eliminate invasive aquatic vegetation.
