#GrandRapidsMI - Heavy equipment hits the #GrandRiver as historic #DamRemoval begins
Story by Brian McVicar, July 1, 2026
"Heavy equipment rolled into the Grand River Wednesday as crews installed a temporary barrier downstream of Gillett Bridge to catch sediment and debris, the first step in a long-planned effort to remove four aging low-head dams.
"The floating yellow barrier, known as a turbidity curtain, is designed to contain clouds of sediment stirred up during construction and prevent it from drifting downstream, said Mike Staal, river restoration project manager for the City of Grand Rapids.
" 'If there’s turbidity in the water, it impacts the aquatic habitat,' he said. 'So what we want to do is just minimize any of the impact, keep the sediment where it is.'
"The turbidity curtain is just the beginning of a carefully choreographed, two-year construction effort to remove four, century-old low-head dams along a half-mile stretch of the Grand River between Fulton Street and I-196. The result, officials say, will be a more natural waterway—safer for recreation, better for fish passage and more closely resembling the rapids that gave Grand Rapids its name."
