The dam at the mouth of the Magaguadavic River in Charlotte County looking a little different after the completion of a six-month modernization project.
The former stop log gates at the old dam site in St. George being upgraded with three new hydraulic steel gates. Before the changes, opening and closing the gates could take up to eight hours, now it takes 30 minutes. Geoff Britt of JDI tells CHSJ News the process is now quicker and safer for workers.
