It has been 2 1/2 years since the White Rock Lake spillway was damaged during flooding; it will be 2010 before the spillway’s rebuilding project is completed. The DMN reports that construction begins this week on the $16.7 million redo, which will add balconies, a walkway with separate pedestrian and bicycle trails, and lots of new landscaping. In the meantime, the Winsted Drive parking lot will be closed and there will be periodic traffic disruptions on Garland Road. Several trails in the area also will be closed from time to time.
