The Flat Rock Dam Project (Project No. #60006) is approaching the end of its construction work. While the project was expected to complete construction by Fall 2024, work is now expected to be completed by Spring 2025. This is due to unforeseen delays throughout the 2.5 years of active work.

Helpful timeline information: 

  • Active construction will continue through the winter with the removal of the temporary cofferdam. 
  • There will be a series of safety and quality tests performed throughout the winter that will ensure the proper restoration of water flow to the Manayunk Canal.
  • New greenery will be planted in Spring 2025 during the April-June planting season. 

PWD will host a ribbon-cutting event in Late Spring 2025. There will be more information about this to come.

We thank the engineers, contractors, and the engaged community for their patience and support throughout this important project. For further details or questions, please feel free to reach out to our project team.
