Repairs to the Black River Canal in Port Huron are set to start in less than two weeks, following City Manager James Freed’s approval of a contract with Trojan Development Company. The company will install a cofferdam and remove the damaged tainter gate. After evaluating six bids, they selected the most cost-effective option with the quickest completion time. This project is the first of three phases, which will include installing a new tainter gate, building seawalls, and reinforcing the canal banks.
