City officials unveil a combined dam and bridge concept to replace two aging dams and four bridges on one piers set, aiming to cut river backup, reduce siltation, and save about a million dollars while improving downstream flow and recreational pool depth. The system uses taintor gates with automatic control and slide gates for backup surge, and allows flushing the river downstream in chemical spill scenarios.
