HURON — Work to place large boulders in the James River below the Third Street dam is going very well, a field inspector for Stockwell Engineers of Sioux Falls said Monday. Stockwell is a consultant on the project.
Dexter Mahrt told the City Commission in a project update that Olson Construction of Huron began the work a week ago. The boulders are designed to eliminate the dangerous, deadly undertow below the dam. The project area is between the dam and the bridge.
Work began on the east side of the river and is steadily moving to the west.
The project hasn’t been hampered by bad weather to this point, although snow is in the forecast for the end of the week.
Mahrt showed the progress of the work with a series of photographs.
“I’m really excited about this project,” Mayor Paul Aylward said after the presentation.
Meanwhile, the commission announced that city offices will be closed and the board won’t meet next Monday in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
