Rend Lake – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Rend Lake is announcing that the Rend Lake dam road from the intersection with the Rend City Road on the west to the end of the Spillway bridge on the east, including the spillway bridge, will be closed to all through traffic during the period of April 3 & 4, 2018.
This closure is necessary for routine, scheduled maintenance to take place. During the maintenance, contractors will be utilizing a crane, positioned in the roadway, to replace structures within the outlet works. The main purpose of the outlet works is to maintain a constant, regulated flow of water down the Big Muddy river during times of low lake levels. Access to the South Marcum Boat Ramp, Spillway Recreation Area, Spillway Dedication Lot, and the Rend Lake Bike Trail will remain open during this time frame. Watch for closure signs at Sugar Creek parking lot and the west entrance to the Rend Lake dam road. The staff of the Corps of Engineers at Rend Lake reminds you to exercise caution when near these areas as construction will be taking place.
Updated information on this project will be posted on the Rend Lake Project Office/Visitor Center Facebook page. For further information, contact the Rend Lake Project Office and Visitor Center at 618-724-2493.
