Crews are working around the dam at Pittock Conservation Area, adding a safety boom, and work got started today.

WOODSTOCK - Construction crews will be near Pittock Conservation Area.

A safety boom is being installed, and work started today. Upper Thames River Conservation Authority's Engineering Coordinator, Huda Ghadhban, explains the purpose of the project.

"The safety boom is basically a floating barrier installed across the water to secure it in place by anchors, and it will create a physical separation to help keep the people and the boats away from potentially hazardous areas near the dam."

Ghadhban says what the timeline will look like for this project.

"The contractors are expected to complete the first part of it, which is installation of the anchors by the end of this week. However, the completion of the safety boom installation itself will be installed towards the end of November to early December."

There will be no interruptions to traffic, and the trail on the bridge is already closed for the season, so there will not be any further closures. Ghadhban says they will post updates on their social media pages once the work is complete.
