Petoskey Breakwall Repairs Underway

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is in the process of repairing damage the Petoskey Breakwall sustained during a storm last winter, when a large section of concrete was dislodged by wind and ice.

On scene from Wisconsin for the repairs are USACE tugs "Kenosha" and "Racine", along with barge "Manitowac". Work has been delayed recently on account of weather.

The breakwall, which protects the Petoskey City Marina, reportedly dates back to the 1890's. On behalf of everyone who docks their boat at the city marina, or who enjoys taking a stroll on or swim from the end of the breakwall, a big thank you to the Army Corps of Engineers!
