Gorge dam

Partners in the Gorge Dam removal project signed an agreement Wednesday to move forward on the dam's removal. That removal will reveal a waterfall that's been covered for more than 100 years.

The project began Monday with the removal of trees in a former de facto dumpsite at Cascade Valley Metro Park which will be used to hold approximately 900,000 cubic meters of contaminated sediment that rests behind the Gorge Dam in the Cuyahoga River.

The project will remove the last remaining dam on the lower Cuyahoga River. The dam's removal will restore more than a mile of river access for community use, while also reestablishing fish and wildlife habitat and could be complete by 2026.

Community members received an update on the project to remove the Gorge Dam last night.
