Brewster Lake Road four-day closure to accommodate tree removal

February 15, 2023

Brewster Lake Road across the John Hart Dam will be closed from Feb. 21 to 24, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., to safely remove trees along the downstream side of the north earthfill dam.

The work is part of the early site preparation works for the John Hart Dam Seismic Upgrade Project.

A buncher machine will be used to remove the trees along the slope and given the size of the tall trees, the road will need to be closed for public safety. When the road reopens people driving across that section of the dam will notice a significant difference in the view of the river below the dam. This is a reminder for drivers to be focused on the narrow roadway.
