Dam to go

Modern Construction has been awarded the contract to remove the old Humphrey Brook dam and bridge near Mill Road. Moncton city council awarded the $728,172 tender at its meeting last night.
The environmental remediation project is expected to cost the city about $1 million when tax and engineering costs are added in.
The City of Moncton is taking on the work of restoring fish passage in the brook for the first time in a century or more as a 'make good' project.
The work will be done between June and the end of September, the period allowed under the watercourse alteration permit.
Pierremoncton posted something similar in the main Moncton thread earlier today, but I thought I would put this in the neighbourhood Moncton East thread as well. I am not disappointed to see the old bridge go, but I am a little sad to see the old dam and spillway go. I understand the reasons for it's demise, but the spillway is an interesting visual feature on the Humphrey Brook Trail.
