Gone: River Park dam one year later
A view July 31, 2019 of where the North Branch Dam in River Park once stood. The four-foot high concrete dam at the convergence of the North Branch of the Chicago River and the North Shore Channel on Chicago’s north side was a barrier to healthy ecosystems and was removed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Chicago District in 2018.
