In just eleven weeks, crews have been able to excavate approximately 3,300 feet of new river channel, an entire 2-acre pond, and several other smaller pond and wetland features (see Progress Map below). Credit for this rapid progress goes to the talented and experienced Bureau of Reclamation construction crew along with a great consulting team and other project partners. The work is also getting an assist from technology – specifically, global positioning system (GPS)-equipped excavators and bulldozers.

In the coming month, we anticipate continuing excavation work on features in the northwest part of the project area. Hauling of excess excavated material to the future Provo Sports Park site near Provo Airport is occurring regularly, so please use caution and be aware of increased truck traffic in the area.

Our estimated project schedule for the next four years is shown in the graph below. View more photos of July construction activities on our Photo Tour Story Map.
