[EXPIRED] LNM: Cofferdam Removal at Clewiston, Fl, Okeechobee Waterway Statute Mile 65
The construction of the steel cofferdam was begun in June of 2015 and Okeechobee boaters have adapted well to its presence. The cofferdam’s removal may actually cause more delay than its construction. Caution is called for during the project.
