Rapidan Dam construction

Using a pair of boom trucks to bridge the river, workers prepare to pour concrete at the base of the Rapidan Dam Friday. Workers from Kramer North America are putting in reinforced concrete to prevent water from moving under the dam and to stabilize the lower dam and remove scour holes that developed in the apron. Work on the dam began in late 2016, but after repairing some items from the top of the dam work had to stop because of persistent high water levels last year that prevented them from moving equipment into the river bed.
