Repairs to the pier are scheduled to take place this summer, and ensure the ongoing economic viability of the harbor, which generates an estimated $6.9 million in revenue for the local economy.
“ Continuing to improve the condition and reliability of Vermilion’s piers is critical to their function ,” said Lt. Col. Colby Krug, Commander of the Buffalo District. “We’re proud to continue to improve and maintain navigation structures across Ohio, ensuring safety and navigation for both commercial and private vessels across the Great Lakes.”
Repairs to approximately 400 feet at the south end of the west pier along Wakefield MetroPark will include installation of a soldier pile wall and sheet pile lagging connected to subsurface rock and bedrock, and re-installation of cut stone to form revetments.
Construction is scheduled to begin in May and be completed by fall 2024.
This project is 100% federally funded.
Dredging of the Vermilion River federal navigation channel by USACE is scheduled to take place in July 2024.
